8X on PCI-X G-card

[rachitboom2]

Hey guyzzz I was planning to upgrade to AMD 64 + PCI-X mobo.
So I just wanted to ask that will my ASUS 5700(which is AGP 8X based) G-card work on PCI-X based mobo.

If it works that will I get any proper performance gain as AMD 64 3000+ itself is very powerful.

Thanks!!!!!!

dude...did you even bother reading up about PC-E at all ? Its a completely different technology which is not only for graphic cards but also for the whole motherboard. So right now none of the board supports both. And also physically the slots for the PCI-E and AGP is completely different. So you cant use it. Next time dude just research a lil will u.
