i want to get a ti4200 or maybe a 9600 Pro (right now i have a tnt2 m64 32mb Pro) but i am a little worried. I got a GeForce 2 MX400 from an incredibly cheap and no name manufacturer a while back. well i installed it and it burned out after 10 min!! now i don't if this is because of my mobo or the card sucked big time..
also i heard about AGP cards that have a different voltage for TNT2 and lower types of cards... is this ture or is it something i had in a dream??
My motherboard is a FIC AZ31 that came off a Compaq Presario 5005cl
so my question is, if i get my ti4200 or a 9600 Pro from a GOOD manufacturer will it work FOR CERTIAN on my motherboard.
Sorry if i seem a little parinoid but i really don't want to waste money on a video card that doesn't work with my mobo
i have found these sites about my mobo:
http://www.s87841630.onlinehome.us/model/uwave/uwaver.html (the max CPU is a 1.2 ghz though..)
http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/az31.html
but they both give a little different data so i don't know how acturate they are.
