I've run all of the following AGP cards successfully without any problems in my BP6:

Matrox Millennium G400 32MB DualHead AGP;
Leadtek Winfast GeForce 256 SDR (32MB);


The BP6 AGP's voltage is derived from the 5V rail (as in a voltage divider circuit using the 5V to get 3.3V) as opposed to actually running the AGP with 5V, so the voltage is 3.3V and should infact be better than taking the 3.3V directly from the 3.3V rail.
Still kicking along with the Abit BP6 :-)

Has always worked great with my BP6, AGPx2, and have run it at up to 83MHz.

ATI 8500LE 64MB
Diamond Vipper V770 32MB

*also used a creative banshee but haven't tested it on a stable system (not that the instability of the system - that board has some problems =)*

update: creative banshee (3dfx) 16MB card works.

To anyone running both an AGP and a PCI card, which do you initialize first? I've run in to problems with initialising AGP first with my Geforce and Banshee.

I've run multiple vid cards in the BP6 since I got it. The only time I had to init the PCI first was when an older PCI video card was in the mix.

GeForce2 MX AGP + old S3 Virge - AGP 1st, didn't work. Had to init PCI 1st

GeForce2 MX AGP + Voodoo3 2000 - AGP 1st, works fine

GeForce2 MX AGP + Voodoo3 3500 - AGP 1st, works fine

ATI 8500 LE AGP + V3 3500 - AGP 1st works fine

ATI 8500 LE AGP + V3 3500 + old S3 Virge - Have to init PCI 1st

All that said, no matter which card initialized first, you can still designate whichever card you want as the primary display device, once you get into Windows.

Matrox G100 8MB AGP
Matrox G400 16 MB SH AGP
Matrox G450 16 MB DH AGP
Hercules 3D Prophet 2MX (Geforce F2MX) 32 MB AGP

Not too exciting, I´m afraid. I´d love to poke around with a second video card, but I have no free PCI slot left...;)

In my (3) BP6 systems I've had TNT2-Ultra 32MB, Geforce2 MX200 & MX400 both 64MB, Geforce2-Personal Cinema 64MB with TV tuner, and I am about to try a Geforce FX5200 64MB tomorrow.
Anyone know if the Geforce FX is likely to give trouble?

Actually, it's a 128MB card & they have dropped in price to below $70 on the Web. Mine is an ABIT Siluro with a cool looking (finger burning) heatsink of extruded aluminum in the shape of the ABIT letters. The appeal of a no-fan Geforce FX suckered me to this model & now I'm working on a fan retrofit!
