Example 1: Diamond Vipper V770 golden finger is compatible with

2X/4X mode AGP slot. It can be switched between AGP 2X(3.3V) or 4X

(1.5V) mode by adjusting the jumper. The factory default for this card is

2X(3.3V).

The GA-7VA (or any AGP 4X only) motherboards might not function

properly, if you install this card without switching the jumper to 4X(1.5V)

mode in it.

Example 2: Some ATi Rage 128 Pro graphics cards made by “Power

Color”, the graphics card manufacturer & some SiS 305 cards, their

golden finger is compatible with 2X(3.3V)/4X(1.5V) mode AGP slot, but

they support 2X(3.3V) only. The GA-7VA (or any AGP 4X only)

motherboards might not function properly, If you install this

card in it.

Note : Although Gigabyte's AG32S(G) graphics card is based on

ATi Rage 128 Pro chip, the design of AG32S(G) is compliance

with AGP 4X(1.5V) specification. Therefore, AG32S (G)will work

fine with VIA
