AGP question

chrisalviola · 12-29-2006, 05:59 AM

I have an old nvidia 64mb agp2x and its fits my new and old board agb slot fine, but when i have a radeon 9250 128mb agp8x it only works on my new board with an agp8x slot. when i attach it on my old board with agp2x and install the VGA drivers the screen is unusable.

so my question is.. is there a way i can use a vga card with agp8x on my old board with agp2x?

AGP x1,x2 run at different volts than x4,x8 It is like difference between PII and PII Slots on a MOBO. Not the best explanation but hope it helps
