Ok, so back when I was naive and thought that anything that fits into the slot works, I installed an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro in an AGP 4x slot on my mobo, not to mention my power supply was 250W when the card needs at least 300W. It would work until I tried playing any game such as Half-Life, then it would crash and the screen would turn into a bunch of different colors. I stopped using it after trying for about another 4 reboots and attempts at Half-Life and Battlefield 1942. Now I have a mobo that supports AGP 8x, and a 480W PSU. So I'm wondering:
Has my video card been damaged from using it in the AGP 4x slot with the low power PSU, or will it be top-shape when I use it on the new mobo?
