How do you tell if an agp card is 3.3v?

[styrafoam]

I have this motherboard which came with a large warning sticker over the AGP slot saying "Do not use a 3.3v 4x agp card on this motherboard, etc...." Anyone know how to find out if a specific card is 3.3v or any general rules of thumb? Thanks--

If it doesn't fit, then it's a 3.3V card. I tried putting a Voodoo5 5500 in my Asus A7N8X and the notches on the slot and card are different. What card are you trying to put in there?

I haven't installed anything in there yet, I have a GF2 mx(which does fit in the slot) that I was going to use until I can spring for something better.

I'm almost positive that the GF2 MX will work.

Good deal, thanks---

My Kyro 2 which is a 3.3V card fit in my A7N8X-DX... but didn't work of course.

But my GF2MX is working in that board right now.

I put it in and nothing exploded, so I think I'm in the clear---- What did the Kryo do when you installed it?

It didn't explode

It just wouldn't power on. I initially thought the power button was busted or something, but stupid me forgot about the whole AGP voltage stuff.
