I have been getting conflicting information regard the Intel D845EBG2 motherboard and the ATI 100-437602 Radeon X1300PRO 256MB 128-bit GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card. Basically I need to know if these two are compatible with each other. This motherboard should support 2x/4x cards. This particular ATI card is 4x/8x.

Any information you can provide would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Jason

Take a good hard look at the motherboard manual section on AGP related BIOS settings.

If the BIOS automatically detects AGP 4X mode, you should be fine.

For some 2X / 4X systems, you have to start out in 2X mode, enter BIOS setup and enable 4X mode.

The other thing to compare is the AGP card voltage. This should be covered in the features and specifications section of the motherboard manual. I believe that the ATI card runs on 3.3 volts. Make sure your slot supports 3.3 volts.

and here is the manual for the Video Card

The manual is moire than a bit vague about the requirements of this Video Card but as it has it's own Power Take Off you should be able to use it with that M'Board.

But before you rush out and buy I would look at both listings and compare them carefully just to make as sure as possible that it will work. You may also need to see the AGP Card so you will know if it will actually plug into your AGP Socket.
