Yes, it will work.

ATI has a good web page explaining the compatibility of various AGP
cards with various AGP version slots, search the ATI site and you
should find it. Primarily, it explains the purposes of the notches or
"slots" in the AGP card edge connectors. If your AGP video card has 2
notches, it is 3.3 and 1.5v compatible (I think that's the way it
goes, best as I recall).

| On a Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard, is an ATI Radeon 9000 64MB
128-bit DDR
| AGP 2X/4X
| Video Card ok to use?
|
| The manual states that the graphics card should run 1.5 volts.
Writeup on
| this video board has the following spec.'s:
|
| Intel® Pentium® 4/III/II/CeleronT, AMD® K6/DuronT/Athlon®/Athlon XP®
or
|
| compatible with -- AGP 2X (3.3v), 4X (1.5V), 8X (0.8v) or Universal
AGP 3.0
| bus
| configuration (2X/4X/8X).
|
| What I don't understand is the three voltages listed. Obviously,
the AGP 2X
| at 3.3v wouldn't be what the Asus Mobo manual calls for. The other
two
| voltages listed for AGP 4X and AGP 8x respectively, have voltages
that would
| be acceptable.
|
| Would this module run the voltage based on what the Asus motherboard
is
| operating at, or would the video module try to run a higher voltage
than
| the motherboard should run at? Which module is in control?
|
| My hunch is the motherboard would have the video board running at
AGP 4X
| (1.5v), is
| my assumption correct? Is anyone out there using a Radeon 9000 with
the
| A7N8X deluxe?
|
| Thanks for your help!
