sapphire X1950 pro 512MB ddr3 AGP running stock catalyst 7.3 drivers confirmed working great.
after swapping out the X1650 pro for this X1950 was a little different when first ran.
mamewah would crash on exit and I looked into the log and it stated error 5 cannot run 640X480 @ 72Hrz 16 Bit so I changed the resolution from 16 bit back to 32-bit becuase I forgot to on the intail install.
once I rebooted with it changed to 32-bit color it ran perfect again.
I am using a DVI to vga converter so they do indeed work like that with soft15K
for some reason it only displays the soft15K correctl on the seconday display slot on the AGP card for some reason it would not get any video on the primary port.
and with it running stock vga without soft15K it was vice versa with the ports where vga would only work in the primamry port
I tried catalyst 8.3 & 8.4 and so far there a no go when I try to install them it states their is no hardware found that supports it but I was running them on my X1650 pro so I am a little confused but I also heard that the X1950 pro have their own special drivers apart from all other Xseries I dunno how true that is until I check into it for sure though.
card also run 7 degree's cooler then the x1650 pro on the ATI tool temp software.
I cannot get the AGP hotter then 48 on a 100% CPU load.
The psu upgrade also helped the temps and actually dropped my CPU temps 12 degrees more overall
if anyone is going to run one of these cards make sure you have a very powerfull named brand power supply these take two power molex off the PSU and are a very power hungry card.
