Doesn't mean a thing. Stores (online or not) should still provide the manual either as a seperate manual or CDROM or either as a PDF file or something on your harddisk... Always ask them about this before you buy anything...
(note: you don't buy any other electrical appliance from any store without the proper manual either. This is commonly accepted and people would find it strange if there isn't a manual provided...... Why is it that with PC's people apparently don't find it strange that a proper manual isn't provided, or even don't ask about it????)

That's just the brand name, it doesn't say a thing about your motherboard (well appart that it is from Asus)
----------
To find out what motherboard you have (not only the brand name):
go to
http://www.lavalys.com/products/overview.php?pid=1
and
download EVEREST Home Edition (it's free).
After you've installed it, run it. After that you'll see a menu list on the right side. Post the exact value of the
Motherboard Name found in the menu
Motherboard > Motherboard > Motherboard Properties. That is your full motherboard type. With this you can find the manual on the internet (on Asus' site).
And in that same submenu, under Expansion Slots you'll see if you have an AGP slot or not...
To see more details about the AGP slot go to
Motherboard > Chipset > AGP Properties. The important bit there is "Supported AGP Speeds".
