[reciprokal]

yes... both are in AGP interface

 

[Praetor]

yes... both are in AGP interface

Yes but there are variances in the AGP spec that make some not compatible with others .. shouldnt be a problem here but not necesarily so for all motherboards (not that this is a good motherboard by anymeans)

True, and to more fully explain that comment, I believe what Praetor was getting at is that it depends on the speed of the AGP card and motherboard. Usually, the card and motherboard will interface with the same speed and one level seperate. So, in theory, a 4x motherboard would be able to take a 2x, 4x and 8x card but not a 1x. Similarly, a 2x motherboard would take a 1x, 2x and 4x but not an 8x... Make sense?

Yes, it will work, but why have a crummy mobo that will bog down your system and have that nice gfx card.

Not to mention different AGP voltages on older/newer cards per motherboard.
