Will My Motherboard Support a 512mb Video Card

[mytech]

Hello friends,
I have an intel d865glc motherboard out of a gateway system. I am trying to instal an AGP video card, the visiontek HD 2600pro 512 mb. Will my motherboard support this card?

Thanks,
James

With video cards, if it fits there, your mobo supports it. Doesn't matter what the card is.

Intel D865GLC supports AGP 3.0 (8X Speed & 1.5 and 0.8 Volt Only). If the visiontek card matches those specs then it should be fine. Make sure you have these minimums for the PSU - 300W or greater power supply recommended
Available 6 pin power connector from power supply or included cable adapter.

Not true, try putting in a card higher than 128 mb into say a dell dimension 4500 and it won't boot.

i was using a GeForce 5500 Fx 512 MB in my dell dimension 2400.

Well the card I was trying to use was a 256mb 9600 pro and it wouldn't boot in any dell computer, even tried a friends 4600, 4400 and still wouldn't boot up. When I put it in an asus motherboard it worked just fine.

Could of been a bug bios in that dell series.

Motherboards sure are tricky when upgrading. Sometimes you have to change the motherboard if you want to upgrade.
