Hi again,

as i mentioned in my last post i am about to put together my first
system. I have an Asus P4C800 E delux and am going to put into the
system my shiny new Asus 9800XT 256 graphics card.

Reading through the mobo manual i noticed a statement that the mobo is
not compatible with agp cards using 3.3volts (only 1.5v). This got me
worrying so i though i would visit Asus to find out how many volts the
9800xt uses. I cant find any info.

A quick google took me to a website forum where a guy stated that the
Asus radeon uses 3.3volts.

Does this mean i cannot use the card?


I dont know about the 9800xt... but i have a 9800 running fine on 1.5
volts... thing to remember tho is that there is a 4 pin molex power
connector on the card that NEEDS POWER! else it won't run. Im running same
motherboard. and almost same graphics board (mine is the 128 mb 9800.. wanna
say its a PRO....but honestly can't remember...
