[bonesombekke]

Yoo YOO what up people.....gotta question...-
-i have a Soyo 6VBA 133 (old **** ass Via apollo pro 133 chipset)
-+ a agp slot v1.0 (3.55V)

is this good enough to support a GTS card

please reply i have been looking around for info for like 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!...starting to get ****ed..

ps. iF yYOUhave any beter recommendation please notify this thread imediatly?!!!!

[funnyperson1]

check to see if your board is AGP 2X/4X, unless its AGP 1X there's no reason why it may not work.....also make sure you at least have a 200 watt psu.....the geforces take up a lot of power.....

[bonesombekke]

ill look in to that idea......heard formsome that this doesn't always comply...many have probs

thnkx anyway

[bonesombekke]

you sent another message to this guy abuot the radeon....is it really better then the Mx 400?!

[funnyperson1]

the radeon will crush the mx400.....itll run you about 20 dollars more 70dollars online.......whereas the mx is like 54, th mx is no where near a radeon32mbddr.....

[bonesombekke]

Yo what about the GTS is it better then the Radeon 32mb DDR?
I heard only in 32 bit mode is this true????

[bonesombekke]

and what about the radeon 7000/7200? Just out in the Netherlands?!

[bonesombekke]

People....need info please....Friendly person ..please

First of all.. I'm using that motherboard right now and it most certainly does not suck! It let me squeeze 995mhz out of a Celeron 566 with no trouble at all. One of the most stable boards I have ever used! It may be old but that don't make it bad!

Sorry I had to stand up for my equipment there!:D:D
It's not the world's best board, but the only real problem is the AGP implementation is not as good as it should be. I am using a Geforce2 GTS on it right now also, no problems however.

It should take any card not designed for an AGP Pro slot with no trouble. It only does AGP2X, but AGP4X cards will still work in it if they aren;t AGPpro cards.

I can tell you how to tweak that board to hell and back if you want, just PM me if interested.

the radeon is better at 32 bit color, the gts wins in everything else, but why would you sue 16bits color?....

get the 7200 it is the equivalent of a 64mbddr VIVO card.....the 7000 sucks....

[Zuck Gou :)]

The board doesnt suck, the chipset sucks.

Heh, yeah it does. The 133A solved all the problems of the straight 133, but you can fix the 133 manually so it works like it's supposed to i.e like a 133A. Thank God for WPCredit!:D

I have a 6VCA (133A chipset) and it works just fine. I use a Leadtek Winfast GF2MX400, and have seamless gameplay.

The 6VBA will support a GTS, and having the GTS around means it will be one less thing to upgrade when you DO change MoBos
