    G400 MAX, 1.5V and P4 motherboard??

    Hello!

    I have a problem... I bought a new motherboard and CPU (GigaByte 8PE667 Ultra 2 and P4 2.4GHz)...

    The new motherboard runs AGP 1.5V and I wrote to matrox support about my G400 MAX and if it would work with the new motherboard...

    The card is an early revision (A) with model number G4+MMDHA32GR...

    But when I inserted the card and started the computer it didn't work.. the 2X detector on the motherboard warned me it was 3.3V card.. but according to Matrox Support it should work with both 3.3V and 1.5V...

    Could it be the later revisions that work with both? I know there was a later revision of G400 MAX that was made for 4X AGP and my card was the early revision with only support for 4X..

    Hoping for some help...



    Thanks

    The card will work at either voltage, but with certain mobos those early revisions will not change to 1.5 properly.
    The card can be easily modded to address this problem.

        Has anyone had luck running a G400 Max (the 4x version) on an Intel D845PEBT2 motherboard. I am getting ready for an upgrade....

          the 4x version shouldn´t have problems with any motherboards the support agp4x AFAIK.
          This sig is a shameless atempt to make my post look bigger.

            Replying to my own post, but in case anyone is/was curious the G400 Max 4x part works fine in the Intel D845PEBT2 motherboard.

                  do you have the link available as I'll be needing to do it in the near future?

                    I linked to another thread earlier in this thread that gives the instructions.

                      I can say that the referred to post earlier is VERY useful. I used the Aluminum Foil trick since I don't have a soldering iron and the "pencil trick" didn't work (I must have done something wrong).

                      Good luck with it, and yes it does work.
