The ATI specifications are a little bit different: AGP 2.0 Compliant BUS - AGP 2X (3.3V), AGP 4X (1.5V), or AGP2X/4X based systems. This means that only AGP 2.0 is able to give the proper voltage. The AGP 1.0 is giving only 3.3V !!! My motherboard is Soyo 6BA +IV with AGP 1.0. Seems the upgrade...

Recent videocard models are AGP 4X compliant and my motherboard support only AGP 2X. I understand that also the voltage is different: 3.3V for the AGP 2X and 1.5V for the AGP 4X. Does this mean that I can burn a new AGP 4X videocard if I insert it in the AGP slot? (due to the different voltage)...

Guys, I am talking about the voltage the motherboard is giving to the AGP slot. From ATi specifications they are: AGP v1.0(2X)= 3,3V AGP v2.0(4X)= 1.5V This means that is you put a 4X videocard (needs 1.5V) in a AGP v1.0 slot which gives 3.3V you can burn your videocard or your motherboard!???

All recent videocard models are AGP 4X compliant and the motherboard support only AGP 2X. I understand that also the voltage is different: 3.3V for the AGP 2X and 1.5V for the AGP 4X. Does this mean that I can burn a new AGP 4X videocard if I insert it in the AGP slot? What options do I have? Text
