Anyone know of a somewhat current video card that will work on a
motherboard with an AGP 2x/4x slot? I have an Abit KR7A-RAID
motherboard. Any info would be appreciated. |

My wife's computer is an ECS K7VTA3 that is limited to AGP 4X. It runs
an ATI 9600 4X / 8X AGP card with no problems.

I can never remember all the issues with AGP. I recall some where
along the line they had a major voltage incompatibility between some
boards and some cards. Double check before you buy. |

There is not much to remember...

There was a voltage incompatibility between modern mainboards (AGP4x and
AGP8x boards) and ancient gfx cards which all predate the Geforce- and
Radeon-line (Matrox G400, S3 Savage, RivaTNT2, Rage128, SiS 6xx) and
aren't sold any more for more than 5 years now. Putting one of these
cards in a modern mobo could fry the board.
Since these cards are that ancient it's hardly an issue any more...

I'm using an x850 in a 2x/4x AGP slot (intel 850emv mobo) |

No way to fry the boards or cards since the AGP cards were keyed for the two |
voltages. It was impossible to plug the higher voltage old card into the newer
slots. |

That is wrong! My P4T-E came with a separate insert warning of a couple
of older AGP video cards that were not keyed correctly. The insert
stated that using one of these cards would destroy the board and void
the warranty. |

Don't bother. Bennie exists in his own reality. |

OK, my bad, nearly impossible. If the video card manufacturer did that to my |
board, i'd sue them! |
