I just rebuilt my system with an Asrock k7s8xe R3.
It requires a 1.5v ONLY video card and states it with several cautions. Not AGP 2.0 compliant..4x/8x....just 1.5v

My old GeForce2 card has both the 3.3v & 1.5v keys in the card which everyone seems to accept as a card that handles both voltages. Directron.com lists this card as a 1.5v card!

I emailed Chaintech and asked them what is the voltage of this card. They replied that IT IS A 3.3V card !!!!!!!
The card is listed as 1x/2x/4x and agp 2.0 compliant.

So Chaintech made a 3.3v card with also the 1.5v key! I really don't think so and am now really confused.

Does anyone really know the voltage?
BTW - my new Asrock mobo has only the 1.5v peg in the socket for the 1.5v key in the card.

Thanks for any help and explination of AGP voltages.
