AGP4X vs. AGP8X

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i'll-believe-it-when-I-see-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With upcoming chipsets such as the SiS648 claiming support for the latest AGP8X standard, we asked ourselves if there were any performance benefits. We took the SiS648 and Xabre 400 reference boards, modified them and compared the results." I can't even get 4x stable under XP, so I figure 8x is half as likely to let me play NWN :)

    Yeah, those Radeon drivers are weird, huh? I just got my 8500 and man, those betas from guru3d or whatever will screw with your system. I got the BSoD once, but several time the system actually just froze, which is pretty impressive, and shows how Microsoft has incoroporated some of Linux's features into their product line

    You know, this almost sounds like a geeks' version of a redneck ford vs chevy....

    My clue to you is to grow the fuck up. People will use what they want to use, and this site isn't all about linux. This site is news for nerds, stuff that matters.

    And just because it doesn't matter to you doesn't mean anyone else wouldn't want to read through it, XP or not.

    Oh yea. Macs Suck. :) (let the flame wars ensue!)
