He means on that motherboard I think. It's one of those AGP-on-PCI implementations. I would hardly call a proper AGP slot crippled.

You about lose 20+% performace, But it does allow you to use an AGP card untill
you can afford to upgrade to PCI express. But also it aprears you can use them
both at the same time ...

I've been searching around newegg and found some other nice S754 boards with PCI-E 16x Looks like my "upgrade" will be A LOT cheaper then I thought.

is it really worth paying the extra for a x800xt pe over a x800xl, isn't the xl a great overclocker? Why not wait til the next generation cards?
