thanks!

ya but its kind of a waste of a gf4. im pretty sure a gf4 can make use of the bandwidth of a 4x agp port, so youll be getting like 1/4 performance (in games anyway)

~Zippy!

er, but i dunno if it would even work, i know the first gen was slightly different, especially in the voltage department

hmm... so that means that newer AGP 4X and 8X cards would work in the older AGP slot then? yea i m thinking more along the lines of a voodoo or a geforce2

That looks like an AGP 1X or 2X, I don't think a GF4 will work in it.

forgot to say, it looks like agp 1x/2 at 3.3v, that will fried a gf4 rated probably for .8v or 1.5v

Thanks for the nice link. I've been looking for a nice chart like that for a while (guess I suck at searching).
