Compatibility, service & archival notes
The named 128 MB AGP configuration should be verified on the specimen; avoid applying it to FX 5200 Ultra or low-profile OEM boards.
Inspect card label and memory placement to identify 64- versus 128-bit version. Save VBIOS and last OS-compatible driver; check AGP voltage and any auxiliary power socket.
- Check signaling, slot keying, lane width, power pinout, board/module dimensions, case clearance, airflow and PSU requirements for the exact specimen.
- Use drivers supporting its device ID and target OS. Preserve original installer and firmware copies, and record their versions before changes.
- Do not energize boards with corrosion, cracks, damaged connectors, obstructed cooling or suspected shorts; document condition before bench testing.
