Hi Masao,

Are you building your own system with the BX chipset, or just using a
standard motherboard? Anyway, if this "PCI in AGP" is a specific feature to
BX, be aware that Intel might pull out the plug on this one anytime when the
8x0 chipsets becomes their mainstream products. Try checking their roadmaps,
Intel components have a tendency of disappearing *very* fast (frustrating,
but they also introduce a lot of new parts each year..........)
