Even the 939 platform rarely had AGP available as a "legacy" slot...
Beyond that, AGP is now dead...
PCI-E cards are generally cheaper and AGP cards topped out awhile back...
If you want to go AM@ you will need a nearly all new setup, drives are about the only things you will be able to bring over with a new build...

Sorry it was late, and my spell check doesnt catch leaving out the "E" When I try to type PCI-E

(for the record I'm editing my original post so as NOT to add to the crapping now going on)

Don't bother with AGP, it's dead,
and PCI cards suck.*

PCI-E ftw!

AGP is becoming rare in newer platorms. PCI-X era now. i suggest you sell or donate your AGP card and get a good PCI-X card.

PCI Express is not abbreviated PCI-X, I thought I had just said that.

And no, you cannot "invent" that abbreviation, simply because it is already being used for an entirely different technology.

"PCIe" is the correct abbreviation.

yea thanks for the replys. so dont get agp no more... i see. oh yea could you all tell me the diff betweenthe slots. im not too sure bout em. whats the small slot? is it the pci express x1? whats the diff between them and whats the x1 slot supposed to be for anw? like here there are two small white ones and one small black one. i know the big white ones are the normal old pci ones but whats the diff between the big black and blue one? oh yea this is a ASUS P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe Socket T (LGA 775) NVIDIA nForce4 SLI X16 ATX Intel Motherboard. also whats the x4 supposed to be good for? and which one izzit. thanks

The x1 are white. The x4 is the smaller black slot. There are 2 x16 slots, blue and black. The is either for a) SLI (x8 x x8) or b) non-SLI (the blue runs at x16 and the black runs at x1).
The x1 and x4 are designed to replace PCI, the large white slots.
BTW, that's a good motherboard.
