Sapphire Tech HD 2600XT 512MB AGP

[wUgamBinOs]

I am very close to buying one of these cards for my old A7N266-VM mobo (AGP keyed for 1.5V), but I can't find anywhere where it says what voltage this card is keyed for.
Does anyone know this or maybe can suggest a place to find it out? Even the Sapphire Tech site says nothing about it!

Also if anyone knows any first hand knowledge / feedback about this card it would be great to know before I go raid the piggy bank. Cheers!

Your PSU isnt powerfull enough for that card, you risk blowing your entire system from straining it to hard...
from your other thread a few GFX cards and a PSU for god value depending on what you want to do with it that is.

AGP wise from ATI you are looking at the following from best to least best

HD 3850
X1950 XT
X1950 Pro
HD 2600 XT or X800 XT
HD 2600 Pro
X800 Pro
X1650 Pro

Unfortunately for you the top 3 are out of your price range unless you can grab a bargain on a well know auction site.

From your other thread you say you have a 300W PSU the important thing is how many Amps the 12v rail can support the should be a label on the side which will tell you.

and for Nvidia gaming-wise your only talking about a 7600GS (the GT isnt in stock on scan, or there just not selling them but Ebuyer - Cheap Computers, Laptops, Digital Cameras, TVs & more! is a good site for AGP gaming-ish Graphic cards

this is about the best your going to get AGPwise for from nvdia but dont get me wrong the people i know who have had this card loved it..deffently worth the money, dont take much to run it. its deffently in your budget aswell.
