Title: ArcadeVGA versions and motherboard compatibility
Post by: krick on December 23, 2005, 09:41:51 am

I currently have one of the older Radeon 7000 based ArcadeVGA cards.

I'm thinking about getting this motherboard...

Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939

However, I saw a couple of online stores saying that it only takes 1.5v AGP 8x cards.

Will my old ArcadeVGA work in this board?
If not, will the new ArcadeVGA work in this board?

I don't see where it says what you quoted.  It says:

1 x AGP slot (8x/4x-AGP 3.0 compliant), supports 1.5v display card only


Should be fine.  That 1.5v is a warning for AGP 1x cards I believe.  It's been a while, but I think they ran at 3.3v.

I found this page that clears it up...

Radeon 7000 cards should be 1.5V AGP so I'm good.
