I have used Aida32 to list the properties of the mobo but I need to know
about the voltage for the AGP card for this 3D card

Memory Bus Properties
Bus Type DDR
Bus Width 128-bit

Neither list the voltage but I think my mobo uses 3.3V AGP can someone
confirm this because if it is I better rip out the card that is in it as it
is a 1.5V 3D card. I checked my manual too but it dosnt say anything about
the voltage (I got the manual from the net as I lost the original).

Thanks all
Shaun.

I have a couple FX5200 AGP models here. They are keyed with a universal
slot pattern, meaning they accept 1.5V or 3.3V for the VIO supply. And,
I have tested both cards in my 440BX board, which is a 3.3V only motherboard,
and the cards work fine. The cards have also been tested in a couple of
my AGP 8X (1.5V only) motherboards. Again, the cards work fine. I think
you'll find the FX5200 AGP is a pretty universal card to use. It should
work in just about anything with an AGP slot

You have an AGP 4x/2x motherboard. Your Geforce 5200 card will be

fine.

Whatever prompted you to be worried about?

Hi Bill

I had a problem way back - about 7 months ago - with my ADSL modum, the
on/off switch stoped working so I hard wired it with solder to be always on,
the problem with that was that when I pluged in the power to the modum it
would spark a bit and doing so it blew my 40gig hdd one day I guess static
electricity ran up the cable, I was sure my Asus Ti4600 128mb 3D card was
stuffed too because it didnt display things right from then on but it could
do some things (it might just have been that the software on my pc running
at the time was stuffed and not the Ti4600 aswell). Soooo I rebuilt my pc
with the new 3D card ie Geforce 5200 and I didnt think much about the
voltage untill reciently when my pc showed the blue screen of death for a
fraction of a second and made the screen go black, it beeped once then
beeped again but much lower in tone and wouldnt do anything. I have seen a
diference on the monitor - might not be related to the 5200 but there are
slight lines running during black screens like at boot up of XP. I thought
all of this was the 1.5 v problem not compatable with the mobo's 3.3 v so I
knew the Ti4600 sort of worked so I put it back in and so far I have had no
problems - the Ti4600 is fine at the time of the shortout with the modum it
must have just dammaged my hdd.

Are you all sure the 5200 can run at 1.5v and 3.3v?

Thanks all

Yes, proved by testing. It works. No artifacts.

There must be some other problem with that system.
