NF7-S2 can't use GF2-MX200 AGP ??

hi all,
i know the NF7-S2 only support 4X and 8X AGP(1.5v and 0.8V), but i don't
know my Inno3D Gf2-MX200 32mb AGP card is how many V... and i try to put it
in , but can't boot.... ..anyone can help?? thanks...

Gf2-MX200? I don't think 1.5 volt AGP cards existed when GeForce 2
(Gf2) was around / in existence. It should be a 3.3 volt card. If
you plugged it in and it didn't work, that's probably about it and
nothing more you can try.

Hi Forrest -

I wiped the egg off my face at the Abit-USA forum recently when I provided
the same answer to the GeForce2 voltage question. The poster there asked
about his old "GeForce 2X" card (where he really meant "GeForce2) .. but,
nonetheless, I was wrong regardless.

It turns out that all GeForce cards support 1.5v and should work in any of
the NF7 motherboards.

The earliest GeForce cards adhere to the AGP 2.0 Specification, where they
have a keyed connector and auto-negotiate either 3.3v (2X) or 1.5v (4X).

More recent Geforce cards adhere to the AGP 3.0 Specification, where they
have a differently keyed connector and auto-negotiate either 1.5v (4X) or
0.8v (8X).

I found this answer at the nVidia knowledge base (shortened URL):

So .. I would have to guess that something else is up with TORN's video
card.

Jef

thanks for the reply...... ^_^..
anyway.. i will try it in another NF7-M ...see how....
thanks...

Good luck with your testing.

Always remember when dealing with AGP cards: they're "keyed" to prevent
insertion in a motherboard that doesn't support the voltage required by the
card. If the card does not easily fit into the AGP slot, it means that the
motherboard doesn't support it's voltage .. so you should not try to force
it.

Yes ... no use of 'force' ...
just simply use a bigger, 20_lb hamachure.

I find that the 2_lb, hand_helds, dont really 'seat' the cards properly.

Added too ...
my 16" elec chain saw does a nice re_notching job.
quick & clean.
Tore up too many cards with my 36" gasser.

An "Admonition" ...
dont nobody steal this thread from me.
I got 'here' firstest.

Qed.


PS-
.. I heard Homie joined the Kiwi version of the
.. No Such Agency ... and is now a Spook in Training(SiT) ...
.. a far distant relation to a USofA 'ZiT' .

I must tell you I've been pretty confused about the 3.3 - 1.5 volt
thing for awhile. When I first read the AGP (v 3.0 draft ?) spec it
sounded like the 1.5 volts was for signaling only and nothing to do
with the voltage applied to the board. I wonder if the nvidia link
you provided was talking in regards to signaling voltage which would
explain how their cards could be compatible when the applied voltage
to the card is 3.3 volts.

Anyhow ... I prefer my eggs either scrambled or pouched. But what the
heck, the simple fact is, I like eggs, LOL.

Hi Forrest -

I was pretty confused as well. I did a little more research on the various
AGP specifications after I made an idiot of myself at the Abit-USA forum.

I Google'd up *AGP Specification* (no punctuation in my search key) and
found the following, which 'splained it pretty good to my little pea brain
noggin:
http://www.interfacebus.com/Design_Connector_AGP.html

And, I agree, I like eggs better than any design specifications... 'cept my
doctor says only two a week because I'm middle-aged and got to worry about
cholesterol if I'm going to stay "small" enough to get through my front
door.

Jef

thaks for your tips... i know it..

ok, this GF2-mx work in other NF7-M !! .... so .... maybe i'll try again in
my NF7-S2....

Just remember that it's a poor craftsman who blames his shortcomings on his
