KV8 PRO & Geforce 6600GT AGP compatible?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt (More info?)

Has anyone ever seen a KV8 PRO working with any kind of Geforce6600GT AGP
plugged into it?

(im having problems and wondered if there was a compatibility issue)

Many thanks

Rats! Not quite fine :-(

System no longer hangs, Windows runs reliably, but any games are like a
slide-show.

Off to buy a better PSU tomorrow...

There are lots of threads on the Nvidia forums about the 6600GT AGP at
the moment. I hope you haven't got the XFX version as that seems
particularly bad. May be worth you having a look for some problem
solving ideas.
