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 have a Thermaltake Xaser Purepower psu 480w but if the mobo cannt
support 3.3volts then i would appear to be up the creek without a paddle.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that i am completely wrong on this. Am i?
John
It will work this website might help you though

It will allow you to find out what your card uses by looking at the connector
hope this helps
