    Kryo 2 + nForce 2 = NO

    So why won't this nForce2 even POST with the Kryo 2 in?

    Is it an AGP thing? Systems fine with the Radeon 9000 back in.

    In BIOS I knocked AGP 8x off and all the other AGP options. It just won't even POST!

    Anyone know why? Cos I wanna sell the Kryo 2 for a few quid, BUT I need to warn people what machines it won't work in.

    Cheers

    Might be due to different AGP voltages / versions. Not sure if the Kyro 2 was released after everything moved over though. Check what AGP versions your board supports, and what AGP version the card is.

    Pity the kyro cards dissapeared, they did have a next gen onet hat was due for release ages ago. They even had press annoucements, but the card never appeared, very odd. My mate was runnint one in his gigabyte board untill a while ago.

    Kyro 2 is AGP 2x based I think, so it runs on 3.3v unlike AGP 4x which uses 1.5v or something.
    Either way, recent chipsets dont support older AGP cards, the intel 845 chipset was the first one for this to be a problem with.

    ...and IIRC for that chipset it was a "fry your graphics card and motherboard" type problem, wasn't it?

    voodle is spot on with the issue, and with the numbers.

    all kyro2's are 3.3v

    really, your nf2 board ought to have a plastic tab in it to prevent you from even being able to insert a 3.3v card

    Kyro II and AGP signalling voltage.

    To Zak33

    Kyro II chipset operate at AGP 2X speed with a voltage signalling of either 3.3 Volts or 1.5 Volts; the Kyro II will switch to the appropriate voltage depending on the motherboards' AGP signalling.

    I had an Hercules 3D Prophet (Kyro II) in my Intel Pentium 3 and carried it over to my current Intel 850 2.4 Ghz Pentium 4 setup. It stayed in this particular system until early 2003. The Kyro II is now in a cousin's Intel D865PERL Pentium 4; it's an Intel 865 chipset AGP 8X board.

    You can find out more at: http://us.hercules.com/support/kyro_faq.php3
    From the Hercules site:

    I heard that KYRO II-based graphic cards, such as the 3D Prophet 4500, could cause the frying of motherboards based on i845 and i850.

    This assumption is wrong. The 3D Prophet 4500 works perfectly with i845 and i850-based motherboards, the typical motherboard controllers for Pentium 4. Actually, motherboards based on i845 and i850 are AGP 4X, 2X, 1X, and support only 1.5-volt AGP signals. An AGP 4X graphics board delivers 1.5-volt AGP signals; an AGP 2X graphics board (typically 3D Prophet 4500) can actually deliver both 1.5 and 3.3 volt AGP signal.


    Your best bet would be to try it out first at the person you intend to sell it to; if it works, fine, if not look for another buyer.

    For fans of PowerVR: they will PROBABLY showcase there new ARCADE board intended to go in the new SEGA ARCADE machine in late may 2005. I for one hopes there will be some development in the PC side of things but with them it's hard to tell...

    Drifting off topic, I know, but PowerVR. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

    I remember buying it to play a special PowerVR version of Ultimate Race. Wowwwwww in those days
