Both features 4XAGP universal but being VIA chipsets, no sure about the compatibility with AGP8x cards.

So, have you had time to try them out by now? 😜

8x cards are typically downward compatible. I have a 9800 Pro in a Via 133A board at 2x and it works fine so far. Haven’t put any drivers on it yet but just in dos it works fine.

TUV4X : AGP 4X using VT82C694T https://buttersideup.com/files/Via_Apollo_133 … s/DS694T100.pdf

1VCCQL6-L7, R3, R6-R7, W6,AA3, AA7, AE2PAGP 1.5V or 3.3V Power.1.5V is used for AGP 4x transfer mode. 3.3V isused for AGP 2x mode

and according to http://www.playtool.com/pages/agpcompat/agp.html

1ATI Radeon 9600 	Universal 1.5V AGP 3.0 Card
2which means
3Universal 1.5V AGP 3.0 Card 	1.5V slot 	Supports 1.5V and 0.8V signaling. Available speeds 1x, 2x, 4x at 1.5V and 4x, 8x at 0.8V.

TLDR : Either board should be fine for the a Radeon 9600 Pro from a purely electrical and interface compatibility standpoint .
