AGP 1.5 v only ??

[9lives]

Hi guys, I want to buy a Asus motherboard and under the spec it said :

1 x AGP8X (1.5V only)
5 x PCI
1 x ASUS Proprietary WIFI Wireless Lan Connector

Question : How do I know if my agp card is 1.5 v?

Thanks.

It must be an AGP4X or AGP8X card. AGP1X or AGP2X cards will not work.

All recent AGP4X/AGP8X cards, say produced within the last 12 months, will be compliant with the 1.5V requirement.

Is that in the FAQ yet?

This ATI Support Page might be helpful to see what type of card you have.

Although it's still not showing that AGP 4x/8x-only mainboards have the "other" key tab, and that 4x/8x-only cards have only ONE key notch. Just like 1x/2x-only gear, only that the former have only the rear end key/tab.

So there's one more "red X" combination: 4x/8x cards (like Radeon 9600 series) won't fit 1x/2x-only mainboards.

Peter: I probably need to rewrite that FAQ. It's not exactly up to date.
