Nvidia's Nforce 2 IGP is AGP 4X only

When we saw the first prototypes in Taiwan last year, some manufacturers used Crush 17 and other Crush 18 as part of the name.

Back in those halcyon, non-toys-throwing-out-of-oran days when Nvidia still talked to us, it confirmed the IGP core inside chipset and made a big noise about how AGP8X was important, although it's not as important as all that.

To avoid confusion, all IGP Nforce 2 boards work with AGP8X discrete cards such is Radeon 9700, 9800, FX etc but the integrated core is AGP 4X only.

Apart from a marchitectural gain, AGP 8X does not make any noticeable performance difference but as even a precociously intelligent toddler knows, eight is two times four. µ
