and damage the motherboard due to Intel
chipset can't support AGP 2X(3.3V).
Example 1: Diamond Vipper V770 golden finger is compatible with 2X/
4X mode AGP slot. It can be switched between AGP 2X(3.3V) or
4X (1.5V) mode by adjusting the jumper. The factory default for this card
is 2X (3.3V). If you install this card in GA-8IEMK (or any AGP 4X only)
motherboards without switching the jumper to 4X mode (1.5V), it
will burn the motherboard.
Example 2: Some ATi Rage 128 Pro graphics cards made by "Power
Color", the graphics card manufacturer & some SiS 305 cards, their
golden finger is compatible with 2X/4X mode AGP slot, but they support
2X(3.3V) only. If you install this card in GA-8IEMK (or any AGP 4X only)
motherboards, it will burn the motherboard.
Note : Although Gigabyte's AG32S(G) graphics card is based on ATi Rage
128 Pro chip, the design of AG32S(G) is compliance with AGP 4X (1.5V)
specification. Therefore, AG32S(G) will work fine with Intel
/ 850(E) based motherboards.
