Can anyone identify this card?

Their are quite a few systems running AGP cards with win 7 just depends on what hardware and driver support. Oh and by the way nice find smarteyeball. Fabe

Actually, I was kind of headed in that direction....I have an Abit NF7-s, and a Asus
-A8M2N-LA, the latter of which is what I was needing the card for, but will do fine for the Abit. ever heard of iatkos? It allows you to run MAC OS on a PC...:)Was going to attemp a dual boot(or straight up)

If you have a AGP mobo in your box of tricks and enough parts lying around to cobble together a machine, you could always build a XP or Linux based rig.

Funny you should mention your Abit board. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate x86 on an Abit KW7, with an AGP. You can see the full system specs HERE. It runs rather fast to be honest with you.

I LOVE Abit boards. I also have a socket 939 Abit Fatal1ty board, and it friggin' ROCKS!

And by the way, that was one helluva' find there smarteyball!

No kidding. How DO you do that so well? Pullin wabbits outta your hat like that..

I'm pretty sure it's a AGP 8x Volari V8 128MB Video Card with VGA, TV-Out & DVI

XGI Tech PV8RL04 V8 128MB AGP Retail

The PCB is the same and so are the capacitor layouts.

But it's definitely and AGP card in the Volari range.

Not trying to be argumentative or anything, but Windows 7 runs great on my socket-A board, with AGP GFX. Even better than XP-Pro SP3.

I wasn't bagging AGP. I have an 7600GS AGP in one of my machines running Seven. I was just saying that this particular card would be unsuitable for Vista/Seven due the lack of vram, but more importantly the driver issue :)

Cheers all. Just luck and a bit of PCB comparison.

(Assuming that it is the card of course )

It's an AGP Volari V8. (sorry my post was a bit late. U guys already worked this out)
