You will never be able to implement full AGP compliance with an AGP slot attached to a PCI-X slot.

I find all this Mai bashing also very amusing considering every Pegasos out there is using the old Articia and not even the new revision.

And not even using it fully BTW as the FSB is stuck at 100 Mhz for most boards.

A modified 64 bit 66 Mhz PCI slot would mean AGP x1 whilst the Articia S does AGP x 2.

The reason why it drops down to AGP x 1 is because the bandwidth is then shared between that PCI slot and the AGP slot.
