Default G400 AGP 4X & 8X?

I have problem; i have bought new motherboard ASRock K7S8X with agp standard
4X & 8X and i have old card matrox g400 . In the book's motherboard wrote
"please do NOT insert a 3.3V AGP cart". Does that card work with that K7S8X?

You can put ANY G400 into a 4x motherboard - you won't blow a 4x motherboard
with a G400.

It may or may not work depending on what revision of the G400 you have. But
even if it doesn't work, it won't blow the board.

There's a mod (using a lead pencil to join two contacts on the card) to make
the old G400's run. I haven't tried it myself.
