| 62986 | 2002-07-16 05:56:00 | Hello I am thinking about upgrading my 16 mb vanta graphics card to a Leadtek Winfast Geforce 4 Mx440 (A170 DDR T). I have an Epox 6VBA2 motherboard (revison 1.0) and was wondering if the Winfast graphics card will fit into the 6VBA2s AGP slot? Do AGP slots come in different sizes and if so is their any good sites to explain the differences? PS: I have seen many different looking agp connectors on the net and different looking connectors on graphics cards themselves. Thanks |

| 62987 | 2002-07-16 07:55:00 | it should be fine. just check you have a resonable power supply. >Do AGP slots come in different sizes only 2. standard agp which is what you have and agp pro which is a little longer. don't confuse them with a slot that has a retention clip on the end of it. |

| 62989 | 2002-07-16 12:57:00 | i don't think the notches have anything to do with 2x or 4x just the different voltages used by the chipset. most vid cards are backwoulds compatible (eg geforce4) if agp slot is 2x the card will run at 2x. you just have to watch useing old vid cards in newish motherboards. |
