I've read where putting a 3.3v AGP card on an 845 chipset motherboard can cause big trouble. How can you tell what the voltage is for any given video card ? Doesn't say on the manufacturer's website, or in the specs for the card that I own (not that I've found anyway). Anyone know for sure ? Is there a list somewhere ? Thanks.

Well when I was setting up my PC, I was using my old TNT2 card (2x AGP), which ran at 3.3V according to BIOS, however, I installed my GeForce2 Pro (4x AGP), and now it's 1.5V. The voltage required depends on the compatability of the card, though not sure on this.
