Hi guys, does anyone here knows for sure if the Asus P2B Motherboard (with the Intel 440BX chipset) has an AGP 1x or 2x slot? I am finding somewhat conflicting info online, or more that most spec sheets I find don't list the speed, but some forum posts have stated 2x.

The reason I ask is that I am eyeing one of these boards for a Win9x build, I have a ATI Rage IIc video card lying around - will this be suitable? Will I need to do anything in the BIOS to this to work? I am a bit of a noob with this era of PC building (I didn't start building until the early 2000s) so I want to make sure I don't break anything. I have read about modifying AGP aperture sizes etc but I am not exactly sure what it means. Thanks for any help!

That video card ought to work perfectly with the motherboard you've chosen, but it is a very basic card. Recommended viewing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOe6EzOyAm4
