ECS K7SEM and AGP Video card
Hi,
I got a self build computer (built last year) based on K7SEM montherboard (ya I know, but needed a ultra cheap computer) (http://www.ecsusa.com/products/k7sem.html) On the manual it mentions that I can add a 4x AGP Video card, then I noticed the line that reads: "Note: The AGP slot only supports NVIDIA 4XAGP cards" A Nvidia card is fine, (wonder why Nvidia only?) but the card that I want to put in it, a cheap 5200 FX, uses 8x AGP. Now I know most 8X cards will work in 4X AGP slots, but isn't the case different when the motherbaord suggested "Nvidia 4xAGP"? So the bottom line, would the Nvidia 5200 FX would in this motherboard or would I have to go for a older Nvidia Geforce 4 or something?

Watch out for ESL geeks. They probably mean they have only *tested* nVidia
cards. -- I believe in having an open mind, but not so open that my brains fall out. |
