I currently have a propriatary asus A7M266-M mobo that came with my BB HP pc. I'm about to get a new case, cpu, mobo and such.
I noticed on my new 6800 GT OC that it is only running 4x agp because of the mobo I assume. Question is; when I get the new Abit NF7-S V2 board, how much of a jump in performance should I expect to get with 8x agp?
 
It'll double the bandwidth of the AGP port, but I wouldn't expect double the performance....

Maybe a few hundred 3dmarks...

Try searching the forums because I'm sure this has been asked a lot
 
from what i know, going 4x to 8x isnt a huge difference. But newer top of the line cards take better advantage of the 8x pipe now so i dont know anymore. sorry.
