AGP card voltage?
I've just got a 'new' socket A motherboard for the old workhorse PC as the old one went croak last weekend
New m/b has a sticker on the AGP slot saying 'Don't use a 3.3v card in this slot'...
Referred to manual for more info, it says I must use a 1.5v card. Trouble is I can't find out if my old ATI Rage Fury Pro 32Mb VIVO is 3.3v or 1.5 or whatever
There is nothing listed in the documentation or the spec etc. on the ATI website.
Am I right in my suspicion that the lack of any info means that it is a 3.3v card, produced before anyone had produced a 1.5v version? Or am I just being stupid
If I have to buy a new AGP card so be it, I just don't wanna try it without knowing
Any help would be appreciated

Cheers M, it's a 4x AGP card so might be OK
I will check if it fits...
It does
The m/b socket has only 1 key in it but the card has cut-outs for 2. Does the second one denote something else?
