Nvidia 7800 GT on this mobo?

[Guest]

I need some help. I would to buy a new 7800 GT PCI-express. Right now I have
a 6800 GT AGP. My mother board supports both agp and pci-ex lite. Could you
check to make sure I can use a 7800 GT on this board? The Link is:

Thank you for any help.

You can certainly use a PCI-E card on this board, whether or not you could
use both an AGP and a PCI-E at the same time I'm not sure, check the
motherboard manual

I see no reason for it not to work...but i have never heared of 'lite'.

Yes it would support it...........but you really are not going to see much
of a difference.

The latest list of supported cards is:

http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWeb/Support/PT880_pci.aspx?MenuID=100&LanID=9

The most powerful card listed is a PCI-E 6800 Ultra. I expect that the 7
series cards would work, but the risk is yours.

You may have to contact ECS directly. I hope that they are responsive to
questions in email .

Incidentally, if you're buying it new, I'd recommend a 7900GT over a 7800GT.
They appear to sell for the same price, but the 7900GT is better than the
old 7800GTX, and significantly better than a 7800GT.

Avoid any newer AGP cards. The AGP 6800GS is a downgrade from a 6800GT, and
an AGP 7800GS isn't much of an upgrade over the GT.
