Stockman, Re -- The Purpose of AGP is to replace fast graphics memory with slightly less expensive, but slower system RAM for net decrease in performance and increase in overall system cost. Please dont show your ignorance. We have enough of it already. Ok, so please enlighten me. Tell me, what will AGP do for you? The MediaGX has its own incompatible drivers, incompatible system board and incompatible everything else. Heck you should try quake on it. The definition of driver is provides a common access to incompatible devices. Your Matrox and ATI cards are incompatible with each other. You need driver for them in order to use them in Windows. System board is incompatible with Socket 7, but so is Slot1, Slit1, Slot2 etc. It provides you PCI slots, and that is all you need to care about, if you are in the minority of people who actually open the box and add/replace stuff. It uses standard SIMM / DIMM slots for memory and can be made to fit any size (AT, baby, ATX) Joe
