Is there any troubles running the cards now on the market for 66mhz MB in
100 mhz buses on the new MB.
For example I was running a Trident chip video card today installing Win98
and had video problems. Exchanged the board to a Diamond AGP and it loaded
OK.

Here's an interesting message I received. Note that the LX chipset is no
longer Intel's newest, but the remarks still apply:

Buy an AGP-Compliant Motherboard! Run Slowly!
----------------------------------------------
It turns out that AGP-compliant chipsets will run more slowly than non-
AGP compliant chipsets *even when AGP is not in use*. The need for
AGP-CPU arbitration apparently slows the DRAM timing vs. standard
non-AGP chipsets.
