WinFast GeForce2 Pro
I just bought a soyo dragon kt400, and after reading the manual(yes, I do read them), the board only supports 1.5v agp cards. I really have no idea if my geforce2 is a 3.3v or 1.5v and haven't had much luck finding out. It is currently running in an abit kt7a motherboard, which does support agp 4x, if that helps any. Does anyone know, or is there someway I can tell by looking at the card? I thought I had researched this board very throughly, but it looks like I missed something. Thanks a million for your help!

Any Geforce2 card should be fine. I could be wrong, but I think the last 3.3V cards were the voodoo3, TNT2, and ATI Rage128.

the tnt2 is 4x agp and was `1.5 volts.


the rage 128 and v3 though are in the 3.3 volt variety. all 4x agp cards are 1.5 volts

Notice the pic on the product page. The notch on the goldfinger that is closest to the mounting bracket is the AGP 1.0 notch for 3.3V operation. The notch on the goldfinger closest to the card retainer "hook" is the AGP 2.0 notch w/c allows for 1.5V operation.

Sweet. Thanks for the info. I was under the impression that 3.3v agp cards were more recent than that. It is temping to get a newer card, but i've already spent enough on the motherboard.:eek: I'll wait until nv30 comes out and get one of them, or buy a 4600 after the nv30 pushes the prices down.
