Form factor & compatibility

Information on FireGL V3600 and VIA S3G UniChrome Pro II compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.

Interface	PCIe 1.0 x16	no data
Width	1-slot	no data
Supplementary power connectors	None	no data
