SB51G and VGA Card

Hi All

Decided to get back into having a shuttle, so scoured ebay and got a old style one SB51G and found a P4 3.06 chip to stick in it.... However, i now need to get a VGA card...

As its only going to be running as a server, £30 is my limit cos i dont need a top of the line card, so i was thinking of getting a ATI 9250 or something. Not a great card but will do what it needs.

However, the AGP slot in the SB is 2/4x and this card is 4/8x will it work fine?

Also, RAM on the Shuttle says upto PC2700, can i stick PC3200 in there or will it not work full stop?

Hi,

Yes it should work fine, as will the RAM although it will only run at PC2700 speed. If it's going to be a server though you don't really need a video card as it has built in VGA which will do the job fine.

Thanks for that, i found a VGA card in a box, so im using that for now :)

I generally dont like to use the Onboard VGA, even if its only for a Server. Not sure why, jsut a pet hate i guess! lol
