video card voltage
My new mb says not to use a video card that is 3.3v agp. I am using an
e-geforce4 MX440-8X 64MB which seems to me to be an average card. Is 3.3v an old card or a very new card? |

It's telling you to not use old 3.3 volt (only) AGP 1x and 2x cards. AGP 4x and up is 1.5 and .8 volts. There are also multivolt cards and multivolt motherboards.

I sort of assumed that... but then I got to thinking about all the stuff I read about new cards needing more PS wattage and wondered if I were assuming wrong. Thanks again. |
