I have heared that Hercules 3D Prophet 8500LE 64MB might not work with VIA KT333 mobos. My mobo is ECS Socket A K7VTA3, VIA KT333 chipset http://www.ecs.com.tw/products/k7vta3_3x.htm. Does anyone know if this graphics card will work with my mobo or not?

Simple mistake. The ECS K7VTA3 motherboard has the KT266 or KT266A chipset depending on which revision, not KT333. Revision 2 and revision 3 of the board utilises the VIA KT266a chipset over the VIA KT266 found in the first revision of the board. And i'd be shocked if it didn't work in that motheroard.

KT266? It says VIA KT333 everywhere, I'm talking about rev. 3:

KT333 indeed. <A HREF="http://www.amdmb.com/article-display.php?ArticleID=141" target="_new">Been so many revisions to that board it's rediculous - KT266 to KT266A to KT333</A>. In any case, the graphics card will work with that mobo. Good day!
