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...

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 list on the right site. And post the exact value of the Motherboard Name found in the menu Motherboard > Motherboard > Motherboard Properties.

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".






here is a screenshot of the motherboard info
