We Live For The One We Die For The One

Not that i have the option as my Mobo is just 4X capable, and from
what i read it was not worth buying a new mobo to just run it at 8X
anyway.

So how much more speed would i get if i upgraded my mobo.

Thanks.
 
Little, to none.

your agp bandwidth is about 1 gig a sec, instead of 2, don't worry about it
it's fast enough
