If my ATI radeon 7000 and my Nvidia TNT2 are compatible with this adaptor I think Rampage too.
Can you answer all my questions on my previous reply please ?

Thank you and for Rampage Drivers we will see if with others cards drivers work too. But we need C++ programer like SFFT to build Windows 2000/XP drivers for Rampage.

@trevormacro: You mainly answered your questions by yourself.

From your Link:
Quote:

Motherboards supporting 8x AGP support both 1.5V AGP 2.0 compliant cards (AGP 4x) and newer .8V AGP 3.0 compliant cards (AGP 8x).

As ps47 alreday wrote, at least it will not kill the card.

@gwb: Yes, yesterday I printed the new SMD design on a PCB. Today I will etch it

The first design will be tested with a CRT today and after that send to Gary.

Does the mainboard reply with a beep-code or do you just have no image? Try to boot with an additional PCI card to see if Windows detects the cards. The primary graphics card should also be set to PCI-E.

So the board does not boot any further?! Please also test an AGP8x card to see if the adapter actualy is working.
I know this HIS bridge is designed by Nvidia for Nvidia cards, but this is a strange behavior. Seems like it's not designed very well Undecided

Info about my work on the dongle:
First design -> Works better with CRT displays. Will see if I can get my old CRT from my brother (did test it very short at work).
Second design (SMD) -> PCB is etched, will drill the holes for HD-SUB 15 today. A little rework needs to be done.
