New AGP Video Card on Old Motherboard

Vexorg · 2003-03-03 14:40:09

I seem to recall when fitting my GeForce3 card that the AGP voltage was different and a warning notice saying that it could damage motherboard if (whatever) What needs to be checked, could a new radeon 9100 be fitted to an old 66mhz bus mobo? Vex.

AGP card with voltage 3.3V can only support AGP 1X/2X. AGP 2X/4X are supported by voltage 1.5V. The Radeon 9100 is 2X/4X. I stand to be corrected on this but fairly sure this is the case. BTW nice card got it last week. Try the new omega drivers with if your into games.
