NVidia Video cards-Success!!!! [message #75039]

After doing some extensive investigation I discovered that the info that I
ot from what I thought was a reliable source vis-a-is "the voltage being
3.3 was wrong. These cards are 1.5v. I got this straight from NVidia tech
support so I started poking around trying to figure out where I had ****'ed
up. I found it. Somehow, my BIOs had flipped from 4 x to 8 x. this card will
not work on my mobo at 8 x and all hell breaks loose, eventually causing
the system to either crash or boot to safe mode. I've been up and running
for two hours with 2 x NVidia GEForce FX series 5500 dual heads (running
128 MB VRAM) per head on my Paris rig (AGP and PCI-share sameIRQ on my mobo)
and so far things are holding up nicely.

I thought you guys might like to know about this. I just couldn't surrender
to the idea of Matrox G450's being the only option. I think we're over the
hump here.
