How to test old graphics cards

[GeforceUser]

I have several cards to test:

Graphics Card:

1. Nvidia GeForce 2 MX400 64MB TV-Out - AGP
2. ATI 3D Rage IIC - AGP
3. SiS 6326 V1.32A - AGP
4. STB 1X0-0709-408 - AGP
5. STB G.Way Vel 128 AGP NO/TV - AGP

Already know how if they are in 2D or 3D? Then how to test with a PC with an AGP port, but not boot on its own install of XP that I do not want to mess up with different drivers?

There should be a live CD that contains very basic 3D applications (DirectX 4? Or older) To see if these cards work correctly, and a program that finds all the info on these cards.

Weird, will require two PCs, because you have maps of two different generations, with AGP 1.0 and AGP 2.0

Damn they are all 3.3V from the Nvidia.

3.3V and is incompatible with the latest AGP motherboard? (A Abit UL8).
Thank you

No graphics card falls 3.3 in a 1.5 slot like the team that UL8

For the test, it will take a maximum time of the motherboard Pentium II/III, genre as a Asus P2B eg.

Initially I was not able to boot. It starts and I have always a black screen. But I managed to redo the work, and I even used to mount a new PC

So I could test all my video cards with the "Final Reality", and the GeForce 2 is 1.5V which is on the motherboard that is at 3.3V: normal?

Final Reality ... it recalled memories

Normal for the GF2.

Those who would need a voltage would have been different format AGP Pro

May I please interject here: Can you please confirm if the above statement means one CAN plug the new 3.3 cards INTO a 1.5 slot - or NOT?!

Amazing that this excellent pic was caught by google images; it explains EXACTLY what is different from my old (busted) ATi card, compared to every single NEW ATi card that is for sale (that i have examined online today at least)

Thus leaving me wondering if i CAN get a replacement. i should look at the matching socket, i guess, see how many pins it can HOLD?

thanks anyway, for the amazing pic.
