Newer agp cards in an old agp slot
Richard schrieb:
According to eVGA tech support, their AGP cards (specifically their
Geforce FX5200) will not work an AGP 1.0 (3.3V) slot:
"All of our AGP cards support 1.5V only - the 3.3V will not work and
yes you can damage the card and or motherboard."
That support is f***ing stupid....
If that is the case, why do they key (slot) the FX5200 card to allow
it to be inserted into a 3.3V slot?
Because it works? I have two FX5200 cards (one Abit Siluro, one is a HP
card) that worked fine in my old PentiumII with i440LX chipset (AGP
1x/2x)...
Notice that most card manufacturers don't _support_ AGP1x/2x (3.3v) any
more, that means that if you run into problems they won't help you. But
_not_supported_ doesn't necessarily mean _does_not_work_...
