nVidia GeForce4 MX440 AGP8x (AGP)

A built-by-nVidia GeForce MX 440 with AGP 8x (p162nz, A2). It uses the NV18-chip which is basically identical to the NV17, except for the AGP8x bus. The NV17 only has support up to AGP4x.

Because the MX440 isn't able to even fully utilize the AGP4x bus it doesn't have benefits from AGP8x. In this case it's even worse because the AGP8x card has a 64-bit memory bus (which is most common) whereas the XFX GeForce MX 440 with AGP4x has 128-bit. > Read more
