AGP Video cards that are 1.5V
I have 2 Asus motherboards one is a P4B and the other is P4P800
Deluxe...they both say the video cards should be 1.5v not 3.3v..I am looking at the RADEON 9600SE, would I be able to use this video card with both of the motherboards (I was thinking of buying 2 video cards)..Also on the P4P800 deluxe it says AGP8X (AGP 3.0) What is AGP 3.0?..I am not really knowledgable with this info and any help and info will be greatly appreciated...Thanks Rob W. |

They havent made high voltage (3.3v) cards since AGP 2X IIRC New cards use 1.5v or 0.8v. http://www.intel.com/technology/agp/agp_3_spec.htm There is some information on AGP 3.0 specifications, which is an extension of 4X and given away free by intel. AGP 3.0 video cards will allow backwards compatibility with AGP 2.0 (4X) motherboards, however, the card will only work at the AGP 2.0 spec, not 3.0. Even though AGP 3.0 motherboards will support AGP 2.0, some motherboards with the AGP 3.0 specification may only support AGP 3.0 and not both 3.0 and 2.0 in the future. Make sure you always check your motherboard manufactures AGP specification before purchasing your next video card.
