+1.5V card

[Alex]

update: sorry my voodoo is actually AGP... so i have no old PCI cards to use

i just bought an asus mobo (cant remember off the top of my head what model) but its a socket 754 VIA chipset. (~kt800 iirc) anyway it specifically says only 1.5v video cards are to be used.

since this is a server machine, i was just planning on using an old voodoo3 AGP card i had lying around or maybe even a radeon 64 VIVO agp card thats also collecting dust around the house... i'm just not sure whether or not they fit the 1.5volt thing... can anyone plz elucidate me? thx! 🙂

Soooo, will i fry my voodoo3 agp or radeon64 agp if i try to run them in the +1.5V AGP slot?

thanks for any input!

they mean agp video cards, pretty sure the pci flavor will be ok.

If it has an agp port, they might be talking about the different AGP speeds and voltages. I think different agp ports have had voltages of 3.3v, 1.5v, and .8v in that order. I think I have that right. There's so much conflicting info on agp stuff I've read I'm not confortable giving an answer that appears I'm really confident 😉

They say voodoo 3 is 3.3 volts.

I think the voodoo 3 will fry your mobo if it will even fit in the slot.
Someone correct me if Im wrong.

Voodoo3 is 2xAGP 3.3v, so I will probably fry your mobo. IIRC some of the Voodoo 4X cards used 3.3v as well, but I can't recall the details. Check this out for card ID.
