AGP Speed

[JimBob]

When using the system tool 'Aida', i get the following message:
'Problem Current AGP speed is lower than maximum supported. This may cause
performance penalty'.
My problem is that i'm not able to change the speed to 8x in bios, the only
options i can choose are 2x and 4x. Will this cause much problems? If so how
am i able to make 8x available.

It'll cause no problems whatsoever. To get 8x AGP, use an 8x AGP card
although TBH, even the top end cards don't come close to maxing out 2x.

Greedo shot first. Greedo ALWAYS shot first. You did not see Solo shoot
first.
It never happened. Never, ever. Not in any version. Remember: Greedo
shot first.

With a mainboard/motherboard which supports 8x AGP.
