Dumb Question...

Is AGP 1X at 133mhz fsb(1/1 divider), the same as AGP 2X at 100mhz fsb (at 2/3 divider) Thanks!

NO!NO!NO! are you people trying to destroy your video card or what . X2 and X1 is AGP 66 Mhz. The diffrence is in the card bus

My concern is with growth. You must grow to become one, to become whole, to become sane. I am not going to force sanity upon you. Rather, I am going to bring out your insanity. When it is pulled out completely, throw into the wind, sanity will happen to you, you will grow. You will be transformated. That is the meaning of meditation

Maniac,

The Bus speed is always considered to be 66Mhz whether at AGP 1X or 2X. The difference being whether or not it has a single or double band to communicate with at the 66Mhz. This effectively gives you 132Mhz worth of bandwidth or 2X66Mhz pipes. 4x would be 4x66Mhz pipes.

The 133Mhz FSB with 1/1 divider gives you a single 133Mhz Pipe for texture swapping. This is a larger single pipe, that should give you more baseline performance than a 66Mhz AGP pipe - as long as the video card can take it, and doesn't attempt to implement it's own divider in the card itself... (I don't know for certain of that last statement, but I remember someone posting on this board that some AGP cards will automatically divide the BUS speed on their own to compensate for AGP Busses that are out of spec)...

Hope I didn't cloud the waters overly much...
