Page 4 here seems to indicate "its a go!" with the P3B-F mainboard and your
9800pro.

I would think that Ati just wants everyone to "move on" IF you read their
box it says they also don't support 98 and ME. However; ATI HAS drivers that
will support 98 and ME at their website. (the 98 uses the ME drivers). Of
course i must interject my personal disclaimer: if it doesn't work and it
blows the Living HELL out of your p3bf and 9800pro I of course do not know
you.

.... so much of me...

Hi,

I've bought the videocard described above for my future ASUSTeK P4C800-E
Deluxe (Intel i875P).

In the meantime I mind myself if I may put it on my old P3B-F.

On ATI website (http://www.ati.com/products/certified/sapphire.html) it
said that the sapphire radeon 9800 PRO is AGP 2x/4x/8x
compatible but on the sapphire box I've read AGP 4x/8x or universal AGP 3.0
bus configuration...

So i'm a bit confused, will that board fit my old P3B-F or not?

Thanks a lot
