Geforce 3 ti 200 agp issue - plz help

[holandes]

Hi, i've recently purchased a geforce3 ti 200 (visiontek). This vid card is 2.0 compliant so my question
is:
could I use it in my mobo (Acorp 6via82p - Via apollo pro 133 chipset) wich has a 1x/2x agp slot (1.0 compliant)?
Coul I fry the mobo or the VC because of the voltage of my agp slot (3.3v)?

please answer me, I don't want to break my new video card

Thanks

It should work fine though if I were you i would get rid of that Acorp at your first oportunity. I don't trust anything from Acer Labs.

Unfortunatly, by the time I don't have the possibilitie to buy a new mobo, so I'm stuck with this one

Thanks for the reply

I used that card in an older 440BX board (agp 1.0). I couldn't get it to run with the newest Nvidia drivers, but the drivers that came with the card worked fine. No hardware problems, just driver issues.

Thanks bunker

Another thing, how many watts does the power supply has to provide in order to the computer works OK?

Thanks in advance

Bye

If (Visiontek) adheres to nVidia's Reference Specifications, then the card should automatically switch between 1.5V (AGP 2.0) spec. and 3.3V (AGP 1.0) spec.

If (still) in doubt, contact Visiontek Technical Support.

I've wrote an email to tech support at Visiontek and this what they told me

"That board has a version 1.0 AGP slot. The Ti200 card actually requires a
2.0 slot. It may work, but not to it's full potential. "

So they doesn't know for sure if the Geforce3 ti can work in my mobo
