Hey all, I just pulled my 3dlabs Oxygen GVX1 video card from my older
system(Asus A7V) and according to my A7V333 manual i can install AGP4x
compatible only cards. The Oxygen card is 1x,2x and 4x comaptible but yet
there is now way this thing is going fit. Unless of course i am missing
something. Which i hope one of you can point out to me.

The A7V has an AGP pro slot. The A7V333 has an AGP pro slot. The
A7V333-X on the other hand, has an ordinary AGP slot, missing the
section at the front with the extra power pins. Your video card could
be a "pro" (its got the word "Oxygen" in it, and that means expensive),
so that might account for the dimension difference between your
"pro" card and new "non-pro" motherboard.

See if your vendor will swap the A7V333-X and some cash, for a
motherboard with an AGP pro slot.
