Hello guys,
Could you tell me if a "GeForce4 Ti 4200" AGP 8x 3.0 Compliant DDR 128mb Tv-out/DVI graphics card is compatable with a "Asrock K7S8X" Motherboard please as my brother has been told it might not work!
Hope to hear from you soon,
Cheers.

There is no reason it should not work - that's an AGP 8X board and an AGP 8X video card.

That motherboard has an AGP 8X/4X 1.5v slot. It should work with that video card.

Sorry, i forgot to add, the reason he said it might not work is because of the 1.5v, he said something about the card being 3v.
Is he right?
Does that make any difference??

Thanks guys

He is probably incorrect about that. If it is an AGP 3.0 compliant video card (8x), then it runs at 0.8V. There are GeForce4 Ti 4200 cards that are AGP 3.0 compliant, and there are also earlier cards that are AGP 2.0 compliant, and run at 4x and signal at 1.5V. The Asrock motherboard you mentioned should detect which voltage the card uses, and initialize  the appropriate AGP specification.

Here is some more info on AGP compatibility:
