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

Don't know about KV8 PRO, but I have just spent a frustrating couple of
hours making my new 6600GT work. The system would always boot, but
running benchmarks or games would some of the time reduce the framerate
to a slide show, other times would run fine with no apparent pattern.

Then, after a while, the system would hang every time after logging into
Windows.

Was just about to give up and replace the card with an old MX400 from
the spares box when I tried plugging the power connector into a
different cable from the PSU - hey presto! Every suddenly works like a
dream :-)

Could be worth a try if you are having problems. The 6600GT seems fussy
about power as my previous card, a Radeon 9700 Pro was plugged into the
same power lead (with an adapter of course) and never had a problem.

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.
