Q: I have a motherboard with an AGP Pro slot . There is an advantage to using a card that is agp agp-pro and not regularly? especially in games / desktop situation. Im not a CAD designer .
the only drawback Ive seen is that the AGP Pro cards will say that I am one of my kidneys to sell to a vid card . pay Thank you.

Re:The only reason I can think of that pro slots are on non workstation boards so often is stability. Since asus always seems to put a pro slot on, I'm think that is a good guess. People that buy agp pro cards, also tend to buy higher end boards, they don't buy ECS, it could be another reason.

Re:Plus I think it looked like consumer cards were heading towards using that extra power, such as the sucessors to the Voodoo 5 (or the voodoo 5 itself, which instead used a reugular 4-pin connector for extra power).

Re:Good question.
It looks good on the feature list and OEMs like it, I guess.
I don't think it costs much more to implement. I know that with the ASUS motherboards, the PCB has all the pins and traces there, even if they put an AGP4X slot there anyway.

Re:Andy…
I understand the use of the AGP pro slot but why did MOBO makers even put them on consumer type boards…?

Re:There is no advanatge other than providing extra power for some high-end 3D cards that require it. A normal AGP card will work as normal in it.

Re:The only time the AGP Pro is useful is if you have a video card that requires it. Otherwise, any regular AGP video card will not benefit from the slot being a "Pro" slot. It's just for extra voltage that the larger/bigger/more powerful cards require to run.
EDIT:
is there an advantage to using a card that is agp pro and not regular agp?
No.
