I saw a good post earlier that had all of the slots in one.
This picture .jpg) Shows from left to right :- PCI, PCI-E and AGP port. The AGP being the yellow one but in your case its a brown AGP. _____________________

That's not an AGP slot.

I asked "Is that AGP port on the PCI-E bus, the PCI bus, or the AGP bus?"
No, it's not, it's not even AGP. It's a "future CPU" slot, to let you upgrade beyond Socket 939 to Socket 940 using an "AM2CPU" card. But AGP slots do look very much similar to that one. |

Ok, found another one, I installed this in my uncles computer. MSI doesn't call it an AGP slot because there are a few cards out there that its not compatiable with but it does accept most AGP cards, I tried several and they all worked fine. http://www.prc-data.dk/images/produkter/MSI-K8N%20NEO3%20F.jpg Left to right 3 PCI slots (white), 1 AGR slot (pretty much a AGP except its yellow), 1 X16 PCI-Express slot, 1 X1 PCI-Express slot. As for what bus it runs off of? Your guess is as good as mine, I never checked that out. _____________________
