It's an older VIA Board with a AGP-Pro on it. Where can I see if it is compatible or not?

Bought: 10/2001
Chipset: Via KT 266
MSI Number: MS6380
AGP: AGP Pro

Boards with KT266-chipset are generally compatible, just as all earlier VIA-chipsets.

Only the KT333 is critical since the later revisions of the KT333 (called KT333CE and KT333CF) utilize the southbridge of the KT400-chipset (VT8235) so they can't provide 3.3V AGP-voltage.

AGP Pro hasn't anything to do with that, it's only an extension for workstation graphics cards with some more voltagerails so the cards get more power.

My Epox 8K5A3+ has also the VT8235 Southbridge but it freatures 3,3V AGP. I can see it in the hardware monitoring after boot and in the USDM Tools in windows!
