NVidia Vanta

[sswingle]

I was looking for a cheap video card to throw into a computer that won't be used for games or anything, and I dug up an old Nvidia Vanta LT card. I go to plug it into the AGP slot, and it doesn't seem to fit. Seems that the little division between the pins is reversed

What gets me even more, is the fact that I removed this card from a clients computer, and replaced it with a newer Radeon, which fit and works just fine.

So yea, whats up with this card?

Oh, I just know someone is going to ask, this isn't a PCI card

Yea, the edge connector does.

AGP 1X/2X card w/c will only fit in an AGP 1.0 slot or AGP universal.

You're probably trying to put a agp 1.0 card in a 2.0 or 3.0 mobo.

Oh, ok.....

So how did the new card fit in the old slot?

Backward Compatibility.

they work fine in all the mobos I've used 'em in
