Looking for cards that can work in a agp 1.0 slot operation at x2 3.3 volt support. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Mostly would like geforce cards but open up to all suggestions.

you mean 4x?? the first AGP slots mass produced , as in late P2 and early P3 motherboards, wer 4x. here is a 64mb 4x AGP GeForce card for you:

trek1701A: you can usually tell an AGP1/2 3.3v card by the cut outs, theoretically most 4x cards are backward compatible, but it may be best to look for older S3-TRIO, SiS6326 and I believe the nVidia Riva128/TNT/Vanta ranges.You would probably be safer sticking to 4mb/8mb/16mb cards, though it would great if you could borrow a card from someone, which is 4x but can run on 3.3V.

Myself I've seen a website that reviewed and tested an Asus v6800 on the same motherboard that I have an Asus P3B-F. Might sometime use the buy now option, if available, on ebay.
Thanks for some of your suggestions. More are always welcomed.

Actually the manual states a 1x or 2x AGP Card. Whereas in the FAQ this is stated:
"The BX (ZX) motherboards are compliant with AGP 1.0 and they support AGP1X/2X. You can still use AGP 4X cards on them, but the card can only run at AGP 2X mode max."

I think Ti4200s are good choices for older motherboards. GF3s are also good. I just picked up a Ti4200 64 meg for $25.00. It works like a champ at 2X. 3D Mark is now close to 6,000. The computer is going to be a gift for a friends daughter, and may never have a game installed on it. But I wanted a decent card anyway.
