Well i got my pc as a full package, so i got no manual for the motherboard. I didn't get a manual for anything to do with hardware like audio card, graphics, motherboard or modem.
So im sorry on that account that i do not have a manual.
most nforce2 boards (thats probably ALL OF THEM!!) have AGP slots and are 8x compliant as this has been developed in time to be included.
it makes no sense for a manufacturer to omit AGP/8x on and mobo being made since the begining of this year (when 8x was being released...)
Well I didnt get the AMD 2500. Instead I bought the 2400. I'm a bumbass but it is holding up pretty good at the speed its going. A major thing I see is my PCI video card and hard drive. Other then that its doing good to me. And yes I have the Asus A7V8X-X Mobo
