KT7A Ver 1.0 and GeForce FX5500

I tried using this board and it failed the video present test on boot.
Since it is an AGP 4x/8x board I presume that it won't work with my mobo
since the mobo documentation says it supports only 1x/2x. However there is
mention in the A9 BIOS update about GeForce MX400. I am curious if the A9
BIOS also causes support for this board. I am using BIOS 7N. Does anyone
know?

While the KT7A supports agp 4x, it only supports it with certain voltages
IIRC, and wasn't fully compliant with AGP 2.0. I don't think I got an
FX5200 to work in it. Only supports 4x mode at 1.5v.
