This depends upon the application's bottlenecks. If the application is bus limited, AGP may be faster than SLI. If the application is fill rate limited and not CPU bound, SLI may be faster. In general SLI will have better performance than AGP in fill rate.

No and no. The only way to get SLI is to have 2 identical cards from the same manufacturer. SLI is limited to 2 PCI cards.

Accelerated graphics port, new dedicated PC standard for 3D graphics. High bandwidth, 66 MHz clock rate. According to the above table, AGP has a higher theoretical bandwidth than PCI. Does this mean that AGP is better than PCI? Not necessarily. In general, actual performance of your AGP and PCI cards will depend upon many factors, including video card chipset, processor speed, cache installed, RAM type and amount installed, video mode, and operating system, just to name a few.

Yes, Voodoo2 will function in SLI mode in non-contiguous PCI slots as long as the SLI cable is long enough to reach between the two cards. The current cable length is 3.1".

The extenders can be used either to prolong the life of the connector, on the motherboard or to prolong the gold finger of the I/O card. Therefore, either the connector or the gold finger of the extender, will wear out. For most of the straight extenders, built by Adex, the straddle mount connectors are custom made, heavy duty connectors. The life cycle of these connectors are about 1500 to 2000 insertion cycles.

Voodoo2 requires two open PCI cards; two identical Voodoo2 based cards from the same manufacturer, and Voodoo2 drivers. Scan Line Interleaving is limited to two cards. Depends on the application. If the application is bus bandwidth limited and not fill rate limited, an AGP solution could be faster. If the application is fill rate limited, and not processor bound, SLI could outperform AGP. Voodoo2 is AGP 1x compatible.

It's not clear why this doesn't work, but whatever the reason it also apparently affects the "radeon" driver, and so isn't simply a problem with the "fglrx" driver. There doesn't appear to be any way to get DRI working on the AGP card without physically removing the PCI card from the system.

Crysis currently doesn't support SLI technology. While it might run, and run well... it wont maximize the potential of the card until the patch comes out or a later fix/update. Here is a thread discussion a benchmark testing on triple SLI cards. Keep in mind it's not supported: SLI Benchmark

SLI is designed for PCI Express. This new bus has superior bandwidth (two to four times AGP 8X), support for isochronous data transport, and the capability to drive multiple high-speed graphics devices. AGP 8X was limited to one high-speed graphics device and was not a good candidate for SLI.

The amount of performance improvement will depend on the application and its ability to scale. Several of today's hottest games see a full 2X increase in performance. In general, applications running at higher resolutions with higher image quality settings will benefit most.

First and foremost, the miniPCI cards we sell are OEM cards, designed to be put into embedded systems. If you purchase and install one of our miniPCI cards into a laptop system you do so at your own risk. We do have several drivers for Windows, Linux, etc. and we have sold many cards to individuals who wish to utilize these cards in non-OEM situations. So it *should* work for you, but you should thoroughly read and understand the FAQ information that follows.

The difference between diabetes type 1 and type 2 is that Type 1 arises due to a total lack of insulin being created by the body. Type 2 is where the body becomes insulin resistant, although insulin is still being produced. Type 1 tends to occur in children to adults under the age of 40. Type 2 occurs most often in adults over the age of forty, but is becoming more prevalent due to obesity.

All PCI Express based GeForce 6800 Ultra, GeForce 6800 GT, GeForce 6800, GeForce 6800 LE, and GeForce 6600 GT boards support SLI technology. SLI driver support for NVIDIA Quadro FX 4400, NVIDIA Quadro FX 3400, NVIDIA Quadro FX 1400 boards is coming soon. More information about SLI for NVIDIA Quadro can be found here.

Each blade supports a half length PCI-X 64-bit 66MHz or 100MHz card. Dual-wide blades can come configured with up to (3) PCI slots to create application specific blade solutions on a mix and match basis.

No, they are only considered PLAYED from the hand, not part of your hand. (Meaning you have to meet the rules for playing such cards as if they were in your hand.)

The Component side of the AGP card is the B side, and the solder side of the card is the A side. If looking from the back of the system chassis, the B side is on the right and the A side is on the left. The AGP bus has 5V, 3.3V, 12V and Vddq on the bus. The Vddq is intended as the power to the AGP bus interface controller ICs. The Vddq could be either 3.3V or 1.5V, depending on the motherboard AGP expansion slot design.

The system AGP slot is for AGP 4X, 1.5V compliant video cards only. Older AGP video cards will not fit because it does not operate at 1.5V. The only solution is to upgrade your existing AGP video card to one that is 4X and 1.5V compliant. Make sure the cable from the case's power switch is connected properly to the board's power on jumper; refer to the motherboard manual. Try reseating the ATX power connector to the motherboard. Disconnect all the power connectors to your HDD, FDD, CD-ROM, etc.

Ans: Will my 8X AGP video card work in my 4x AGP slot? This question is not answered as easily as it might seem. First let's establish a few things you need to know to answer this question. What is AGP 3.0 AGP 3.0 is keyed like a 1.5V AGP 2.0 slot, but it only uses 0.8V of power. It supports 8X, 4X, 2X and 1X speeds. Rule #1: Speeds are backwards compatible AGP Speeds are required to be backwards compatible. This means that an 8X video card MUST be able to run at 4x, 2x, or 1x speeds.
