I ask because I need to replace my video card that died. The slot is an AGP Pro 4X/8X. And I look on newegg.com, and there are 107 AGP 4X/8X cards, and only 2 AGP Pro 4X/8X cards for sale :??:

Try WikiPedia:
"AGP cards are backward and forward compatible within limits. 1.5 V-only keyed cards will not go into 3.3 V slots and vice versa, though "Universal" slots exist which accept either type of card. AGP Pro cards will not fit into standard slots, but standard AGP cards will work in a Pro slot."
