Relative to what? It's obvious the guy who started this thread didn't know what an AGP slot looks like, so pointing out the type of slot, and where it usually is (never BELOW a PCI slot), is helpful information :-)

@whabang

It could be a desktop machine.

So because it's a desktop machine you're suddenly allowed to plug the AGP card in the wrong way round?

Not to an Australian, New Zealander, or South American!  :-D

Well, it's not prohibited... :-D
Anyway, it actually depends on how you're looking at the board. Say it lies on a table, then? :-)

What if two swallows were to carry the board upside down?

African or European swallows?

I checked the spec, to verify.

AGP 4x is 1.8v with a rollback to 3.3v.  8x forces you to use the lower voltage.

[mikeymike]

so AGP 8x is when the power *needs* *changed* then :-)
