Dear Sir,
Let me explain to you.
AGP VGA cards use the power from M/B's AGP bus. There are 5 volts and 3.3
volts. And, we found some of M/B's 3.3 volts power are not stable.
Normally, the margine for power should be 4%. That mean 3.17 to 3.43 are
acceptable. However, some of M/B give 2.5 to 3.5 volts. In order to make
sure our GeFORCE2 MX is stable on all kind of M/Bs, we lower down MCLK to
150. I think stable is more important. Please try
www.microsoft.com/hcl to
look at who get MS's certified with GeFORCE2 MX.
Under Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility List,
search for GeFORCE2 MX in Display, and click GO.
They are full of it.I thought the thing drew less power than the old geforce. 4 watts of power.
