I got SOYO "SY-P4X400 DRAGON Lite" mother board as a gift from my cousin. It has a AGP Slot in accepts only 1.5 Volts AGP card ( 4X or 8X). it is mentioned that if 3.0 Volts card is put, it may damage the mootherboard. I tried a lot to get the card with the mentioned specifications but could not be sure of 1.5 Volts. I could not find anybody who is aware of the voltage of the card. Kindly tell me what is the difference in 1.5 Volts and 3.0 Volts card and how to differentiate between them.

A 3.3v vid card will not say agp4x compatible anywhere on the documentation since it is agp1x/2x only. Any card that supports agp 4x will run at 1.5v.

You cannot buy a new 3.3v card anymore. Here is a chart that shows agp voltages for cards. Starting with the first ati radeon all cards supports 1.5v

A card that supports both 3.3v and 1.5v will work on your board.
