Hi everyone.
First poster here. 8)
My PC spec:
Asus A7 N8 x-x
AMD Barton 2800XP+ (*NOT* overclocked)
512mb PC3200 ram (mobo is only single channel)
Maxtor Diamond Plus 9 160GB EIDE Hdd
Maxtor ? ? ? 19GB EIDE Hdd
Geforce 4 MX440 64mb
Firewire PCI card
Modem 56k PCI card
PSU Q-Teq 400W
I ordered a cheap Sapphire Radeon X1600 Pro 256Mb AGP to replace the jurassic Geforce 4 mx.
Now two simple questions that I hope someone can answer:
1) Is the PSU going to be able to power up all the system with the new 3d card ?
2) I looked around the Asus website and found out that the AGP slot in the mobo is "1.5 Volts Only".
Is that a problem? Or it does not really matter?
I checked the X1600 series manual from the Ati website and it does not say anything about AGP slot volt requirements.
I thank in advance everyone that can help me, especially wth the second question, since buying a slighty bigger PSU is not a big problem but getting a 3d card I cannot use with the PC would be bad.
