Motherboards with PCI-X compatible with AGP2PCI? (Read 166 times)

Komponent Senior Member Offline 3dfx modder Posts: 282	Motherboards with PCI-X compatible with AGP2PCI? 27.10.13 at 18:01:38 Hi, AFAIK, AGP2PCI adapters have compatibility issues with at least some motherboards, so I ask for your help in sharing your experience. I am searching for a motherboard that has at least one PCI-X slot and has been tested to work with AGP2PCI or AGP5.

From my experience the Asus workstation boards are compatible with the AGP2PCI adapter. The model I use is a P5WDG2 WS Pro s775 mb.
I have tested the adapter on a Tyan MPX2466 board but without success.
The compatibility issue seems to be related to the PCI-X controller chip. NEC ones seems to be compatible with AGP2PCI while with others it depends.

I also tried AGP2PCI with Tyan S2466N-4M and it did not work The P5WDG2 WS Pro is great, but my hope is there are other older, cheaper motherboards with PCI-X slot that have been tested working with AGP2PCI... If you, lads, know of any such case, please share

The best motherboard I have tested with PCI-x and agp2pci is the ASUS WS P5WDG2. Agree with Gino about NEC PCI-x controller chip.

I have tested other WS ASUS where performance is really bad or even agp2pci does not work.

Anyway, the best combo is to use an adapter PCIe2PCI-x (SuperMicro) plus agp2pci.

Oscar.

Hi Komponent,

Like Osckhar said you, the best combination is to take a MB new generation with PCIexpress 16x slot and put the Supermicro Adaptor RSC-RR1UE-AXL + AGP2PCI adaptor or AGP.5.

Like that:
