First of all I want to thank for all the help.
I still have a lot to learn.

On newegg.com is one topic of 5/24/2007 : 'the card does not support
agp 4x'

But when I look in the "Practical Motherboard And Card Compatibility"
table in playtool then I see that it should work at 1.5V.
(845 is "AGP 1.5V Motherboard" and NVIDIA GeForce 7600 is "universal
1.5V agp 3.0 card")

So my question is : Am I wrong or is the topic wrong or is the NVIDIA
GeForce 7600GS (couldn't find this in the playtool list) different
from the NVIDIA GeForce 7600?
