Old School ATI Rage Pro Turbo AGP Voltage? 1.5v or 3.3v?

[Miklebud]

Trying to do a quick test with my new parts, with out my Video Card. I've got an ATI Rage Pro Turbo AGP antique as my only source of video at the moment. My new ASrock DualSata does not support 3.3v AGP cards. And I dont want to plug this thing in unless someone can tell me it's 1.5V indefinately.

So...

1.5volts or 3.3volts... It's circa 1999?

it's probably 3.3 volts, AGP 1x/2x

The Rage series came in 3.3V-only and "universal" flavors. The latter do support 1.5V signalling.

Cards and slots are keyed so you can only plug cards into boards that are electrically compatible - and since ATi had no keying fsckups except on the RageMAXX dual-GPU card, you can safely assume that if it fits, it works.

The ATI FAQ pages did have a summary table for this btw.

I thought the dual sata only supports 1.5v cards??? I think i may have read it in a newegg review about someone saying make sure your card is 1.5volts, but i dunno.

Search www.ati.com Knowledge Base for "AGP". First hit is it.

Oh, and the Rage 128 Pro is the only one that does 1.5V.

Thank you all so much! It only means that I have to wait until Sunday night til I can get my new rig up and running.

I did a search on ATI.com as well as google, as well as Rage3d.com And found nothing regarding the voltage, thus here I came and recieved my answer. Thanks again.
