Does anyone know if there are ANY motherboards for P4 that use DDR memory and support 533mhz FSB that support older 3.3V AGP 2X cards?

I have an ATI All-In-Wonder 128 that suits my needs fine, I just want to upgrade to a faster system and keep the card. I wanted to get an Asus P4PE or other Intel i845PE board but looks like they all support 1.5V AGP 4X cards ONLY, same with the Asus 845E solution.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

all of the intel boards are 1.5v device only.

maybe the SiS based boards can use a 3.3v device ???

Ya that is what I was thinking. I looked at the Asus sis 648 and 645DX boards and the website didn't really say either way.
However I just checked Abit and their SA7 (645DX) says it is 3.3/1.5 compatible, the newer SR7-8X says 1.5V/0.8V only.

Now if I can find a 645DX board in stock still, Abit says their SA7 is discontinued.

The Asus P4S533(SiS645DX) accepts any AGP card, 2x or 4x.

Mmm yes, they do say they support 2X now don't they? LOL however, the 3.3V needed is most likely not supplied, cards like the Voodoo 4/5 need that 3.3V and well, modern boards just don't supply it. Sadly, this is true, and I'll bet you will have problems in the future with boards saying to support 4X but only supplying .8V!
