My Voodoo5 5500 AGP not fitting my Asus P4T Board?

[dharmabum]

As I'm not really up on all the AGP slots I was wondering if anyone knew why the Voodoo 5500 AGp will not fit in my Asus P4T motherboard?
My AGP slot has another 3 smaller slots where the 5500 has one small and one larger slot.

Any insight would be appreciated.

the voodoo5 will not work with a pentuim 4, that's the way it is unfornatly.

Yup, you'll have to get a new vidcard.

Yeh, the v5 will not work with the p4t. Or any other p4 mobo.

The others are correct, I will elaborate. Current Pentium 4 motherboards only allow 1.5v cards. All 3dfx AGP cards are 3.3v, hence they cannot fit. Other motherboards, for instance P3/Tbird boards, are universal, fitting both 3.3v and 1.5v. So, until a 3rd party chipset maker makes a P4 motherboard(sure would be nice, no Rambus let's go intel ), you're stuck.

Wow, leave it to Intel to try to break something good. Really, what is the use in changing the slot design anyway? Unless I see some nice performance difference I don't want change.

I dont know agamar unless its the high voltage requirements of the processor and the rambus.
This geforce 64 ddr that i got doesnt have a problem though

3DFX verse the World!

 

[Deeko]

No, it's not 3dfx' fault.

I know its not 3DFX's fault but i was implying that 3DFX verse the world meaning that everyone is against 3DFx in some sort of way. I have a V5 so its not like i have a problem with them.
