Are there different AGP card sizes?

[donnore]

Are there different AGP card sizes? I have a PIII @ 450MHz & 256MB with a BX mobo. Will a AGP card that supports 2x4x6x8 fit in my BX mobo from 1999?

Also, what´s this 3.3v 1.5v, I plan to buy an ATI RADEON 7500, will I have to change my PSU? Right now I´m using a ATI Rage 8MB.

AGP card sizes varies a lot! But I assume you mean do all these 2x/4x/8x AGP card fit on your BX mobo, the answer is yes but all of them are limited to 2x/4x AGP. The 3.3V and 1.5V ar the voltage of the AGP slot consume but it shouldn't be a matter to you. Only those who stupid enough to try to run 2x AGP card on 8x AGP mobo would mean something to them - "you have toast your card/mobo!"

You never know how stupid you are until you have done something stupid enough for you to realize it.

As long as you have a good quality board and power supply, any of these gaming cards will work. For example, the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro is AGP8x/4x/2x, your slot is AGP2x, it works.

I still run a BX chipset board, with a Celeron 1100 CPU running 1540MHz!
