I posted this in the mb section with no replies so I thought I would try it here. Any one know of an rdram board that has 8x agp?

8x AGP is supported only by newest chipsets and the only AGP 8x RDRAM chipset(s) I am know of are the Sis 658 and 659.

So, try looking for boards with these chipsets and you should find some.

Thanks, yeah 658 is dead and 659 isn't out yet. I was hoping some manufacturer had updated an 850E board.

The 850E, by design, cannot support AGP 8X.

Rambus was nearly beaten when it was released, but serial, such as Rambus, is the way of the future.
