I got my new Athlon 64 X2 in today with my new ASRock MB with the AGP and PCI-E slots. But I am curious about a sticker that was placed over the AGP slot... it says:

"Please do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this M/B. It may cause permanent damage."

Umm does this mean I cannot use my Geforce 6200 GFX Card on this slot? The very sole reason I bought this MB so I wouldn't have to upgrade my Video Card just yet so I could go ahead and get a Socket 939 system going?

Or do I have nothing to worry about?

    Yeah. Any AGP 4X/8X cards will work fine.

    Im surprised, usually you can not insert old 2x cards in the 4/8x slots. I had some old 3DF X Voodoo3's etc and the pins would not line up properly with the AGP slots on modern boards.

    OK I have it all plugged up an stuff, but no display. I have to hold down the power button for 4 or 5 seconds before it shuts off.

    No display.

    I have reseated my ram, the video card as well. No change. It is plugged in, it uses a 5.5v Rail and it IS plugged in. I have checked several times.

    But no picture, my monitor doesn't ever come out of standby. I hear it beeping like a normally booting PC would, NOTHINg out of the usual but the damned display is NOWHERE?

    Any ideas?

    My Radeon 9800 XT/Pro worked without a hitch... it's odd to me becuase it used a 3.3V Rail unlike the Geforce 6200 which used a 5V Rail :confused:

    Now I am having to find my damned XP CD LOL
