    hey guys
    I own a xps m1530 and by entering bio setup when the comp starts I havent been able to figure out if its using APG X8. Im suspecting that my 8600m gt isnt running to full capicity cause its using APG X4. How do I find out?

    I thought all the CPUs had been stopped using AGP since ATI started the X-series, which was 3 years ago.
