upgrading video card

[RDR]

that's interesting...it says the same thing for the R9700Pro, although for the AIW9700 it states the ME driver can be used for Win98/SE - I looked at a couple of the ATi partner sites & they don't list support for 98 in the specs either

....they all have win98 drivers available for download though....

it must be an oversite - I could probably find out at the Rage3D forums, except their site is down right now....

Thank you all for helping. Here is a question sort of out of topic. The Radeon 9500 pro require a connector from the power supply but I have used up all the connectors except the type of connector for floppy drive. Are there some converters or some kind of connect that can expand some more?

[RDR]

the rquired power connector is the floppy drive type...but even if it wasn't, all you would need is a Y-adaptor, they go for a couple $$'s at most computer stores

Gigabyte make no mention at all about what oses are supported and I've put 3 R9K's of their's on SE usin' the latest drivers that ATi has released and they run just fine. :?:

Most half good PC stores can sell ya the required adaptor to power the card. ;)

thank you again. :D Yup, I did a search on power supply Y-adapter, that thing cost 2$, not sure about shipping plus tax.

Ok I've just done a walkabout and have turned up nothin' concrete yet but I'm almost positive that the A7V8X is both X4 and X8 AGP 3.0 1.5V compliant but someone else may confirm/deny this before I find something concrete myself. ;)

Asus though have had enough time now to get that new format of their website right and start puttin' up some FAQ's for their newer products.

You know Wiggo, I downloaded a proggy called AIDA32 and check my system. You mention about that my MOBO is supporting 4x, I think you're right. On the hand, the box that came with this card did say that it is a 8x supported MOBO. Anyways, I got no way to proof that it is 8x. Here is the pix:

Hi.

I believe I read when AGP 8x came out that there is no standard that supports 1x and 8x.

They're either 2x - 8x or 1x - 4x.

Somone correct me if I am wrong. Pretty please.
