Default GF7600 GS AGP - will it work on Via Kt133A chipset motherboard

KT133A is a chipset for the AMD Athlon. What do you really have? Apollo Pro
133A?

Motherboards with VIA chipsets back then had problems running AGP at 4x and
delivering sufficient power (as required by Intel's AGP specification)
through the AGP slot. A no-name motherboard from that era most likely will
not work with the 7600GS. The problems likely won't be immediately obvious;
they will be intermittent, non-repeatable and they will dog you for days at
a time. :-)

Hi There

I have an ageing system:-
1.25G SD RAM
P3 1Ghz
Unamed motherboard utilising VIA KT133 chipset
GF3 Ti200 AGP card with 128M
hec 300 P4 ready power supply

Will a GF7600GS AGP run on this motherboard? At the moment I cannot get
more than 2XAGP from the motherboard without a somewhat dubious bios
upgrade.

Another important consideration is power. Will a GF7600GS need an AGP slot
capable of delivering more power than this M'board can handle. I
understand extra power can be "injected" into the graphics board thru a
molex plug - is this possible on such a system?

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated....
