    Mega quick question...

    Ive got a asrock K7VT4Apro (ie, a newish socketA board) and im just checking its ok to plug my old Geforce2 GTS into it?

    On the AGP slot it says in bigg letters "DO NOT USE A 3.3V CARD IN STHIG SLOT"
    - So im checking, the Geforce2 isnt a 3.3v card, is it?

    Otherwise, what about a Nvidea Ti200 card?
    - Failing that, its a 1960's PCI cirrus logic card, running driverless...

    Thanks you



    Daniel

    Should explain it all buddy

    Wikipedia is probably going to be best explained one with the picture at the bottom

    OK. So...

    The card has both notches in it, and the mobo has just the 1.5v notch.
    - And i beleave the card is a 4x card, which is down as being 1.5v, which should work.

    So it should all be fine...

    Yeah, its not new as such.
    - Cant remember we're i ordered it from, small place i havnt used before (or since)
    - It was about £15 or somthing mega rediculas, and for what its used for, thats fine!
    - Its only got a old 1000mhz T.bird and one 256mb stick of ram in it, used to have a old MSI K7t Pro board in it, but thats jsut died after about 6years!
