I'm sure it is the limitation of the MB. BTW, on what system was an 128MB Go 5200 offered on??

Might be a limitation of your motherboard forcing it to run at 4x speed.  Just a guess...

1. The FX5200 was only offered in 32MB and 64MB varieties on Dell Laptops.

2. The models it is/ was offered on have chipsets that are limited to AGP4x (i8500, i8600, i5150).

3. Are you sure you are not talking about a Dell desktop? In that case ask on the Dimension boards here but it is probably due to the same reason, a chipset limitation.

4. I wouldn't worry about it in any case, on that card it doesn't particularly make much of a difference...

Not sure what laptop you have, but the ONLY laptops Dell offers with AGP 8X support is the 9100/XPS which use the Intel 865 Chipset. ALL other laptops, the chipsets supports at max 4X... even my 8600 with the Intel 855 supports only 4X.
