7800 GS AGP Help

To upgrade to the 7800 gs AGP, can it be any card? or does it need special bios? I did see a card with bios 5.70 but that is about it.

You can use any 7800 gs AGP if you use an multi

Plug and play?

I heard conflicts that outside of the AGP 7800 that has the Sega BIOS, no other AGP 7800 would run. If I find a cheap one in the future, I will buy it and try it out.

There is no "Sega" bios. They locked it to a specific bios version, it has to be 5.70, not 5.71. You can't downgrade it either because 5.71 versions of the card are a different GPU version.

So any 7800 agp that has the 5.70 works then right?
