Looking at the picture of the board I would say the XGP slot is an AGP riser slot, which will allow certain AGP cards to work with that motherboard.

yeah;
atleast they're not trying to pawni it off as true AGP - it's likely an emulated agp using the PCI bus, meant to tide you over till you can afford a $400 PCIe card http://www.biostar-usa.com/mbdetails.asp?model=NF4UL-A9 Quote:

Waste of time I think, the VIA and ULI chipsets which have a native AGP slot are great but an AGP riser slot which works with a very limited amount of cards and even then with drastically reduced performance doesn't seem worth it. My motherboard does have one of these AGP risers but none of the cards I have are compatible with it, so I ended up buying a cheap PCI-E graphics card for troubleshooting.
