I have a question....
I am thinking about resurrecting a tyan 1854 board (p3, apollo pro chipset.)
I already have one up and running, and with the radeon9600.
I have two 9600se cards, but seems like I remember those cards refused to work on the tyan board, like they are AGP8x only.
It seems like I remember the 9600SE being AGP8X only but I went browsing around on the internet can can't seem to find a solid answer.
Those 9600se cards seem to work fine on kt-400 (athlon) boards but that is AGP8X

Thanks for that - which is what I thought
But then see a lot claiming that and 8x card should work in a 4x slot so I am not sure what to think

Some had universal AGP. It's technically compatible with all old AGP 3.3v like 440BX, but ATi decided to avoid potential problems with old systems.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.
