Ive had a radeon 9200 SE given to me and I was wondering about 1 thing that I cant find on google.
My motherboard says NOT to put in a video card with 3.5V.
I cant find if this card is 3.5 or not.
It is agp 8x and 128 RAM
Radeon 9200
googled using this keyword :
video card voltages
however you need to do more research
before trying unless your the daring type like i am.

Problem
I want to upgrade my ageing motherboard, processor, and RAM, but I'd like to be able to use my existing video card with the new motherboard. The video card is an Inno nVidia Tornado TNT2 32MB model, and the new motherboard I want to purchase is the Asus A7N8X Deluxe. I need to know if the old video card will work with the new motherboard.
Answer
The first generation of AGP 1x and 2x video cards use 3.3V, which is the same as PCI video cards. (X = the speed/frequency of the PCI bus = 33MHz.) But because there is a power limit of 25W on the AGP bus, 4x cards and higher draw more current and so have to use lower voltages. Most 4x cards are built to the AGP 2.0 standard and use 1.5V, but some use 3.3V. 8x AGP 3.0 cards run at 1.5V or 0.8V. The AGP Pro standard was developed for cards that need to exceed the 25W power limit of the standard AGP bus.
