How can i make sure my agp card is 1.5v or not

AndyHui

Do you know abut mine too
ASUS GF3 Ti500( V8200 T5)
I hope it does, because I just ordered MSI 845 and
it says that it accept only 1.5V

Do you have a link to a FAQ or a list about that matter.

Thanks
 
Most of them will have two slots cut out of the bus area where they contact the motherboard AGP slot. A 4X compliant AGP motherboard will not allow a 3.0v card to be placed in the AGP slot because it has an extra "bump" in the slot itself.
 
I got a nice little plastic insert on my p4t-e

Apparently, 3.3V AGP cards dont have the extra 'nook' that 1.5V AGP cards have. So physically, a 3.3V AGP card wont be able to fit in a 1.5V only AGP slot.

However, the only exception are SiS 305 based AGP cards. They are 3.3V only and also have the 'nook' that the 1.5V AGP slot uses. On my manual, it says using such a card will cause 'serious and permanent hardware damage'

 
I guess since all new agp card is 1.5v so they
don't put that information on the box.

We just starting getting worried when
Intel chipset has that requirement and
some mobo maker put that warning sign.
 
If all 4x agp is 1.5v, how's the 2x agp,
Is it all of them is 3.3v or some of them?

I have an old Nvidia Vanta which i believe
is 2x agp card, well just want to make sure
before I make some foolish mistake.
