Hi. I'm searching someone that have a intel d850gb motherboard with an AGP slot that support only AGP cards with 1.5v as voltage. I have read in the manual that this motherboard support only this type of AGP card. Who have an d850gb desktop can say me which AGP card use? Thank you. C ya.

What?

I replied with this yesterday, at your other post. Maybe, you didn't catch it. Most new motherboards support AGP 4X video cards. These cards should comply with the AGP 2.0 specification, and operate at 1.5 volts. Earlier AGP 1X and 2X cards, operated at 3.3 volts. Motherboards that support AGP 4X & 2.0 spec. should have a AGP retention mechanism connected to their AGP slot. These video cards have a special slot at the back of the card that interlocks with a small plastic stud on the retention mechanism. If the card backs out of the connector .039 inches under shock or vibration, the interconnection between the card and connector can be interrupted, due to the two tier contacts on the video card. Some Pentium 4 motherboards, like Intel’s D850GB/D850MV, can only accept AGP 2.0 video cards operating at 1.5V, and legacy 3.3V AGP 1X & 2X cards are not supported. The video card’s connective surface, should be made so that if a 3.3V AGP card was to be inserted into one of these motherboards, the 3.3V stripe should not make contact with the AGP2.0 slot. But, I’ve read where some video card manufacturers have cross used screened boards, and a unknowing customer has plugged one of these 3.3V cards into a AGP 2.0 compliant slot, and burn’t the motherboard. You should have no problem finding one of these cards. Most new cards are AGP 2.0 compliant. Here are just 2 of them. Pricing from Googlegear.com - ATI Radeon 7200 64MB SDRAM - $68 Powered by the RADEON™ 7200 graphics processing unit (GPU) 64MB of powerful single data rate (SDR) memory Pentium® 4/III/II/Celeron, AGP 2X/4X, AGP 2.0 compliant Supports 3D resolutions (32-bit color) up to 2048x1536 - ATI Expert 2000 PRO 32MB SDRAM - $42 Powered by the ATI RAGE 128 PRO graphics engine 32MB of powerful memory (SDR) memory Pentium® 4/III/II/Celeron, AGP 2X/4X, AGP 2.0 compliant Supports (32-bit color) 3D graphics up to 1900x1200

I have that motherboard an I HAD (CAUSE I HAVE TO CHANGE IT ) A DIAMOND V770 CARD AGPX4/X2 AND DIDN'T WORK WITH THAT MOTHER. The reasons ? Well I think the new AGP specs. So I bought a GFORCE MX2 AGP X4 and works fine.

I had a similar problem with my Epox motherboard (EP-4B2AE) with an Intel 845 chipset. I had put a Gigabyte nVidia TNT2 32MB AGP 4x/2x, but the computer wouldn't boot. Kept on making annoying beeping sounds, cause the motherboard wasn't accepting the video card, I think. The video card was a 3.3V card, NOT a 1.5V, because it worked in my older computer, which has the older AGP 2x. This is one of those cross used screen boards instances- stupid Gigabyte. By the way, how do I know if the motherboard fried or not? I don't think it did, cause no physical signs. Am I right with this anyways? What nVidia based cards are 1.5V? All the geForce MX cards? Seems that the TNT2 cards are still the old 3.3V. They should specify this anyways when selling video cards...
