Welp, apprantly my MOBO and GFX card both support AGP x8 or 8x (whatever ;P) so i was wondering.... are there any noticable advantages in enabling this option in my mobo?

No noticebale performance gain.

 

Maybe as games require more memory bandwidth it wil come into play but as yet no noticeable imporvement, only around 5% MAX, 2%-3% normal gain usually.

But AFAIK there will never be a downside, so if both support 8x, you might as well enable it. Sure it may only be a few % some of the time, but it should never be slower...

That's true - I'll enabled it later (don't ya just hate rebooting? ;P)
