P4C800-E deluxe - please tell me (quickly) my Radeon 64DDR VIVO AGP4X fits
into the AGP Pro/8X slot on this mobo I have just bought
 
Well there is a little section in the manual that states "4x", but I took it
out and tried it anyways, and it physically fits and lines up too. Can't
turn it on, no cpu/mem yet, and haven't yet pushed it in. The last of the
tabs on the card is a thingfoot with no pins, and that goes into the pinned
slot. Other than that, everything looks ok.

The "thingfoot" (I like that term by the way) is just a spacer to make
sure the board goes in with the right alignment.

The slots and the boards are keyed in such a manner that you generally
can't put an AGP board into a slot that can't drive it.
 
The ATI64DDR VIVO works fine in an ASUS P4C800E. I had to use my backup
64DDR VIVO till I got my 9800 Pro. It worked fine. Slow as molasses in games
(as is to be expected with such an old DX7 hardware part), but
it worked fine. :)

that I didn't need.
Maybe I'll have 2 complete computrs after all.
I'l wait and see.

Have you got a link fot dx glossary.
I thought this was a codec type thing.
Can't I upgrade and use the latest dx with this card?
Do you mean it was up to dx7 when this card was put out?
