To mnie uspokoiłeś.... Co najmniej 400zł zaoszczędzone na nową. Chcę kupić
intel Desktop Rock Lake D865Perl.
To mi napisali na liście matroxa ( wieczorem przestudiuję wszystko :)

The "full" G400 designed for AGP4x (1.5volt) slots has a 4A in the model
number (on the matrox sticker on the card itself).

All G400 are capable of voltage switching between 3.3 volts and 1.5 volts.

But you don't necessarily need a G400 with 4A in the model number to work in
in an AGP 4x board. The earlier model G400's will work in some AGP4X
motherboards. It depends on the motherboard (more info below).

Matrox realised they had made a mistake with the circuitry on the
original G400's and revised the circuit board even before the model 4A cards
were issued.

There are at least 3 different types of G400 cards:

TYPE 1) the original G400's 2x

TYPE 2) the revised G400's 2x with revised circuit board number (002 I
think)

TYPE 3) the "full" G400 4x cards (with 4A in model number)

I have a Gigabyte 8IRXP and an Asus P4B533-E. Both of these boards are for
AGP4x 1.5v cards only. The difference between these motherboards is that
the 8IRXP does not attempt to save itself if a 3.3volts video card is
inserted. ie. the motherboard will burn itself out. The Asus P4B533-E
actually checks the video card type inserted into the motherboard and will
NOT boot with a 3.3volt card.

Now the TYPE 1 cards are detected by motherboards as 3.3volt - so the TYPE 1
card works okay in an 8IRXP (because the 8IRXP does not check the video card
type) but the TYPE 1 cards won't work in a P4B533 (because the motherboard
thinks its 3.3volt card, but of course its not, because it will switch to
1.5volt)

The TYPE 2 cards will work in any motherboard looking for an AGP 4x 1.5v
card

The TYPE 3 cards will work in any motherboard looking for an AGP 4x 1.5v
card

Because of the auto voltage switching you can insert any Matrox G400 into
any motherboard with takes an AGP 4x 1.5v card and you will not burn it out.
