Hello
I plan to buy a Parhelia 64MB when they will be out, my current system is based on a Asus P2B-S, and gives me full satisfaction, on speed and stability.
But I got a question I can't find the answer anywhere. On the Matrox site, the Parhelia is advertised as "an Agp 8x graphic card running at Agp 4x speed".
From my previous read, I can say that Agp 8x cards won't be compatible with an Agp 2x (and 1x) slots (because of different voltage if I remember well).
On the other side, Matrox says an Agp 2.0 compliant system is required, which, I thing, means Agp speeds from 1x to 4x.
Now my question is, have someone tested the Parhelia in an Agp 2x system (like every i440BX chipset based motherboards)? Does it work or does the Parhelia absolutely need an Agp 4x at min. motherboard?
Thanks in advance for answering,
