Hallo,
ich habe einen Sony RS212, in diesen wollte ich eine ATI 9600pro einbauen. aber es funktioniert nicht. das system bleibt nach einiger zeit einfach stehn. auch von der sony hotline erfährt man nicht welche grafikkarten in diesen system funktionieren, obwohl im beiplatt von agp erweiterungsmöglichkeiten gesprochen wird. hat da einer erfahrung damit.

I believe it's probably due to the power supplies in the Sony VAIOs - they're only 300W while modern 3D graphics cards rely on a 400W box. Maybe this is the issue.

i dont think that. we have tested it on a other pc, with a 300w ,4 hard drive, and 3 pci cards. they work. but not in the rs212. the ati 9600 pro are only work at 1 agb.i try to chance this aber nothing work. at the sony support can not say what for graphic cards work.

Are you sure that PSU in the VAIO is a 300W? Some are even low as 220.

so i think sony block ati cards. today i was in a computer shop.
we tested a
9600 pro
9600
9000
and the result is, all cards accept only 1x agp.

we tested else
nvidia geforce 3 ti 500
nvidia 4200
and a 4600
the result is, all nvidia cards are accept 4x agp .

why???? dont like sony ati??? or whats wrong.

Nah! I don't think you can block a particular make of card. It really must be related to the power supply. I would agree that many of the Vaios have very low powered PSUs.
