Card/Mobo compatability OR "A Tale of 2 Notches"
I bought a NOS Mobo (ECS- Elitegroup P4ITA2) for an old P4 my buddy
gave me. I am gutting an old Athlon system I have to use for parts for the P4 system. In the AMD box there was a seemingly usable video card: an NVIDIA Riva TNT2 (maybe a M64?), I believe 16 MB. It's hard to tell b/c it's a COMPAQ part made by Nvidia...you know. So anyway: the new Mobo says I MUST use a 1.5V video card. After looking online I saw that if the card has 2 notches it is 1.5V, however I ran across a post saying this rule is *usually* correct except in cases of TNT2 and another card. The card has the 1.5V tell-tale 2 notches. A sticker on one side of the card reads: I.T.E Accessory 180-p0009-000-c00-8,-16 E204896 , +5Vdc@100mA TWMIC001 Which leads me to believe this is indeed a 3.3V card. Does anyone have the correct info on this card?!?! Just in case you need it: the part number is: 316903600002-ROB There is another serial below that: PWA-G4000PRO/GRAPHIC CARD Please help me out if you can & Thanks ahead of time, Rob in NJ |

You should study this chart http://www.ati.com/support/faq/agpchart.html It should answer your question. Basically you need to verify that that card is AGP2.0 rms |
