AGP pro were rarely used slots for graphic cards that need extra juice, so the pro slot has few extra power pins to do so. AGP pro was mostly found in workstation doing CAD and stuff. This was replaced by the molex connector (external power source).

I ask because my mobo I'm getting hopefully (Asus A7V133) has a AGP PRO slot, and I want to use my SAPPHIRE Radeon 9600Pro AGP8x
