I recently made two benchmarks usind 3dMark on a duron 600, 256mb pc133 and ATI Radeon 8500. One with agp 4x enabled, and one with agp 4x disabled - guess that means 2x or 1x. Apparently it made no diffrence, cause i scored 4100 both times. That is good, as the A1 only use agp 1x. Not as good as my old XP1600+, with 512mb ddr266 together with that ATI Radeon of mine. Scored 9000 back then. guess that the CPU speed and/or memory speed. Certainly hope it wasn't the ddr though, cause the A1 is equipped with sdr. what do you think about this? Is the A1 mobo going to utilize all that power of the ATI Radeon 8500 to it's full potential?
