| 78490 | 2002-09-11 09:35:00 | hi Hi I am looking at getting a Gforce4 Ti 4200 soon and was unsure if first, it would fit in my AGP slot. Currently I have a NVIDIA 8mb Vanta (AGP). And second would it work. (I know it won’t be as fast as a new AGP slot.) below are my motherboard spec's: Specifications: Processor Intel® Pentium® II, Celeron® Core Logic VIA Apollo Pro133 Chipset + VIA VT82C686A BIOS Award BIOS v5.41 Max. FSB 100MHz Memory 3 x SDRAM PC100, 768MB max. Form Factor ATX, 305mm x 200mm Expansion Slots: AGP 1, 1x / 2x PCI 5, 32-bit ISA 1, 16-bit MR 1, AMR Ports: PS/2 1 mouse, 1 keyboard. Serial 2 Parallel 1 USB 2 onboard, 2 optional. USB 1.1 Floppy 2 drives max. IDE 2 x E/IDE Ultra DMA/66, 4 drives max. Controllers: Sound VIA VT82C686A integrated sound Special Features: Keyboard Power On (KBPO) Wake On Lan (WOL) Hardware Monitoring Function provided by VIA |

| 78491 | 2002-09-11 10:14:00 | what type of cpu and what speed is it? the odds are that a gf4 ti4200 is going to be total overkill for your system. the system is only run as fast as the slowest part. it might be better to get a gf2 and save the rest for a new pc. |

| 78494 | 2002-09-12 05:18:00 | Very nice card, specially for the price. Sounds like it should work perfectly (If not I'll buy it from ya at half price :) | Greg S (201) | ||
| 78495 | 2002-09-12 12:37:00 | take it in to the shop and try it chances are it wont work on a older mother board though best to upgrade your whole PC 1st | kiwibeat (304) | ||

| 78497 | 2002-09-22 11:02:00 | ???? never heard of them not working with the older boards. some of the very early boards couldn't provide enough power to run high powered cards(geforce256 at the time). | tweak'e (174) | ||
