Hi,

even AGP4X?? people sometimes mix AGP with AGP2X, 4X, etc.

i _think_ i understand what you are saying, but hope our correspondence is 
not confusing the less graphically sophisticated out there.

my comments were only meant to help those less sophisticated folks who 
might try to plug multiple graphics cards into computers expecting serious 
performance, only to end up with beaucoup problems.

readers understand: Ido is talking about 2D performance.

thanks,

In the Old cards that didn't need that much memory throughput the
AGP 
helped a bit.
