AGP 1x video cards?
I'm in desperate need of an AGP1x (or compatible) video card, and I
don't know where to start looking. A couple years ago I invertantly put a 4x card in my 1x slot, and now it's dead. Does anyone know of any 1x-compatible cards out there, or of something that can help me find one? - Joel |

Sorry, thats not true at all - The old 1x agp was 5v and now agp is 3.3v (
something like that ) and if you put an old card in, or mismatch them you can blow them up.... However, little known is that usually agp 1x was a different connector - yes there were 2 agp connectors, but the original one is indeed rare, so this will add extra complication! Try ebay...

Hi there,
I believed you are talking about AGP Specification 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0 and not the AGP speed. As chuck has said, there shouldnt be any problems using later AGP Specification Video Card on older AGP slot, as they are backwards compatible. Check out this page : http://www.ati.com/support/faq/agpchart.html P.S. Though, there is some reports of incompatiblilty using later AGP Specification Video Card on older motherboard, but it is a matter of getting the video card to work or not in the first place and not damaging it.

If it ran for 2 years it wasn't AGP 1x that killed it. But are you _sure_ it's 1x and not 1.0? What motherboard are you using? - Joel It would have to be 1.0, there were no official 1x AGP boards. The first one with AGP, the 440LX chipset, supported 1x and 2x. -Slash -- "Ebert Victorious" -The Onion |
