3d annihilator pro / agp

[romancandles]

hi guys
i need some help here. i know i need to upgrade my graphx card as i haven't done so in a while but until then: i've got a 3d annihilator pro (geforce), which works with the old agp. i just got a new mobo with 8x agp. will the old graphx card work? please help.

thanx!

I've heard some mobo'are 8x/4x only, but I don't know for sure.

Here's the <A HREF="http://dmzweb4.europe.creative.com/usenglish/graphics/US_3DB_AnnihilatorPro_TS.htm" target="_new"> technical specs</A>. You'll be fine if it's a 1.5V card. Check out this <A HREF="http://www.directron.com/15agpguide.html" target="_new">link</A>. You can tell by looking at the <A HREF="http://www.directron.com/15agpguide.html#my" target="_new">connecting interface</A> on the card (look at the pictures).

Here's a <A HREF="http://www.anandtech.com/showimage.html?u=http://images.anandtech.com/old/video/Creative/Annihilator/bigfront.gif" target="_new"> pic</A> of the card. Looks like it's keyed for 1.5V to me

Nevermind! It looks like some manufacturers (Hercules) had 3.3V cards keyed as 1.5V cards. SO your card may or may not be 1.5V, but it most likely is. [EDIT] Here's an <A HREF="http://www.hardtecs4u.com/reviews/2001/agp4x_update_e/" target="_new"> article on this</A>.

I'd contact your motherboard manufacturer and ask, just to be sure .
