Asus P4B AGP Slot question...

[jyates]

Hi All,

I've got an Asus P4B motherboard. I've got several AGP video cards that won't fit in it because
they aren't "notched" in the right place.

I read the owners manual and it talks about using 1.5V signaling devices and not 3.3V ones.
They say that the Intel 845 chipset supports the 1.5V cards.

It's also got a red light on the mb that shows you if you happened to put a 3.3v card in that
was notched like a 1.5V card. Supposedly the mb won't power up if you put the wrong card in.

My question is......are the 1.5V notched cards odd or is that the standard now a days and I happen
to have some older cards that don't fit?

Thanks,
Jim

1.5 volts accept only 4x agp cards the notch stops 3.3 volt cards from fitting and destroying /burning up the motherboard

Thanks for the link......I need to see if I can find a video card to fit the motherboard. I'm using
a pci video card for the moment!
