It's 1x speed. (Edit: or at least looks very like it)

Some interesting statements on Ann. BBRV puts a nice point across that 1x is good enough and that the bus doesn't really matter any more. However, somebody also says that ATI's cards only work on 2x...

Whabang, the reason Peg-1 had AGP 2x was Articia. However, bPlan dropped this chip, labelling it with the nice title "a piece of buggy crap" and went for Marvell instead. This has no AGP and so it had to be added with logic. This would be why the AGP in Peg-2 is 1x.

From ATI's site:

RAGE 128 PRO, RADEON, and newer products are keyed "Universal AGP" and may operate in AGP 1.0 and AGP 2.0 compliant motherboards. RAGE 128 PRO, RADEON, and newer products are keyed "Universal AGP" and may operate in AGP 1.0 and AGP 2.0 compliant motherboards.

That can be found here.

Remember that AGP2.0 is not 2x. I can't find anywhere that says Radeon won't work on 1x.

Radeons will continue to work on Pegasos-2, and the bus will be faster on Peg-2 than it was on Peg-1, despite the stated 2x bus.
