FREE Radeon 9250 gfx card with Mediator

You need a special 5V card in order for it to work.  And even though your card may be (or you think may be 5V) it may not work.

Manufacturers don't normally publish those specs, so best to buy it from Elbox.  

I picked up a used 5V Radeon 9250 and it didn't work.

Yes.  5V cards have a single "notch" on the PCI connector.  But even if you have such a card it doesn't mean it will work, as I found out.

I bought a used 9250 with single notch, which is supposed to mean a 5V card, but apparently there can also be a 3.3V requirement for some of the components, or something like that.

Bottom line if you want your card to work guaranteed you have to buy it from Elbox.

I tried to cheap out and got a used $20 card but now it just sits in a box with a bunch of other cards I don't use......sigh.
