I was donated this motherboard and apparently has two Agp slots.
It is quite unusual and I'm wondering why is this. 😕

The motherboard is ASROCK K7Upgrade-600.

It has a few bad caps that I need to replace before trying.
Thanks in Advance.

One of the slots isn't AGP. It's for a CPU upgrade card.

One of the AGP slots is for the Socket A CPU, and the other is for use with the upgrade card.

It's so you can have one video card for you, and another one for the feed to your FBI guy

Actually, guys... it does have 2 AGP slots.

The attachment K7Upgrade-600(L1).png is no longer available

As to why it has 2 slots:
The one closest to the PCI slots is for use when you have the Socket 754 upgrade card.

The one closest to the CPU socket is for use when you are using a Socket 462 CPU.

Says so right on the product page.
