I'm considering picking up a Canopus Spectra WF17 as shown here: https://collection.batyra.pl/graphics/nvidia/wf17 for my Pentium III Retro PC.
My motherboard is an Asus P2B-D w/ the famous Intel 440bx chipset and an early 3.3v AGP slot. I want to confirm that this particular card is compatible with the 3.3v AGP2x standard, but I'm finding it really difficult to find ANY info on this particular card online - probably because I understand this model wasn't really sold much, if at all, in the USA.
In my experience, most AGP cards of this era (2002) can still do AGP2x - I've verified that my GeForce4ti 4200 IS compatible but I also have an Abit Siluro GF4 MX-SE (GeForce4 MX 440) that just WILL NOT POST on either of my two Asus P2B-D boards yet it works just fine on a newer AMD Socket A mobo w/ an AGP 8x slot.
I really want to purchase one of these cards but I don't want to waste my money on something that isn't likely to be compatible. Can anyone help?
