AGP 1.0 and 2.0 compliant?

[kelesh3]

What's the difference? I have a k7 pro, and it's only AGP 1.0 compliant. My visiontek geforce 2 gts card I think need agp 2.0 compliant. What's up with this? Is it going to suck?

AGP 1.0 compliant means that it has support for AGP1x, AGP2x and sidebanding.

AGP 2.0 compliant means that it has support for AGP1x, AGP2x, AGP4x, sidebanding and fastwrites.

Since AGP4x and fastwrites do not make a material difference to performance, your video card is not going to suck.....it will be fine.

I was under the impression that agp 1.0 and agp 2.0 were the power that the mobo could supply, and thatsince my geforce 2 gts is a power drainer, then it wouldn't work.

You have a Slot A motherboard.....they should all have no problems with the power requirements of the GeForce 2 GTS. The only boards with power supply problems to the AGP slots are Super 7 boards, LX and early BX chipset boards.
