BUT, it does matter, what the voltage is on the videocard (1.5 or 3.3),and what the AGP slot on the mobo supports.

If the videocard is the wrong voltage for the AGP slot, then it wont work.

Only way to find out is to plug the Gforce in.

Altho if its an 8x card and the slot is only 4x, it'll only run at 4x not 8x.
