For those of you who didn't notice, the VIA KT333 chipset supports AGP 1x-2x-4x-8x

I hadn't thought it did, but apparently it does in fact support the newer 8x standard, shows that here http://www17.tomshardware.com/mainbo.../kt333-01.html

And here I thought I had to wait for the KT400

*facepalm*
