I have an F-10 box that will not post, it just keeps trying to start
intermittently. I have reduced the system to power supply, motherboard,
and video card with the same result. Changing the power supply does not
help. I do not have a spare video card to try but would like to try
one before I give up on the motherboard-processor.
Newegg has an inexpensive video board on sale but how do I tell if it is
compatible with this motherboard? This restriction has me stumped!
2.6.4 AGP PRO slot
This motherboard has an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) PRO slot
that
supports +1.5V AGP cards. When you buy an AGP card, make sure that
you ask for one with +1.5V specification. Note the notches on
the card
golden fingers to ensure that they fit the AGP slot on your
motherboard.
If you installed an incorrect AGP card, such as a SiS305-based
AGP card
or any other 3.3V AGP card, the onboard red LED (AGP_WARN)
lights up,
an indication that the card is not supported on the motherboard.
As long as
this LED is lighted, you cannot turn on the system power even if
you press
the power button, thus preventing permanent damage to the
motherboard.
Install only 1.5V AGP cards on this motherboard!
The AGP PRO slot comes with a warning label and a
safety tab.
Remove the label and tab ONLY if you are installing
an AGP PRO
card. Use a pointed object, such as a pen tip, to
dislodge the tab.
The mother board is an ASUSP4B533-E with an Intel P-4 µprocessor with a
Zalman cooler. There is no video circuitry on the motherboard.
Presently it has an ATI "All-In-Wonder 9600 video card installed, an
elaborate thing with bells and whistles I will never use. I mainly need
to display text, little more.
The board on sale is described as:

I have been agonizing over this problem for a month now. Video board
specifications don't talk about the voltage spec. I assume they are
talking about signal levels of 1.5 volts? But I don't know how to tell
if what I order will comply with the ASUS requirements.
I would appreciate some help on this. What do I look for in the board
spec's to get one that fits?
Thanks.
Bob
