old Gpu, new Mobo

[Viper27]

I've got a DFI lanparty UT nF4 SLI-DR mobo on thursday, but don't have the money for a 7800 card yet. If I put an older PCI (not express GPU) card into the mobo, will it harm it any? I don't know the card name/type since it's from a friend, but it's from copyright 1994! Laugh at your own discretion. I just need it for a while until I can get the $$$ for an eVga 7800 GTX KO. Thanks.

It won't hurt a thing. That old video card is probably more stable that the rest of your equipment. Just make sure you check your BIOS to ensure that there isn't any settings that need to be changed for your primary video location.

I thought so, but I still had to ask. Feel free to post if anyone has a card as old as mine or older. I could use a good laugh knowing how well my system would be gaming if only I could afford a decent GPU. X2 4400+, 2GB RAM, and an 11 year old GPU

I had a 3dfx Voodoo 3 in my machine for a bit. That was cool. Glide and 3dfx are the sh!t.
