Your video card supports both 3.3 and 1.5 voltages. On the other hand, your
motherboard, obviously, has a universal AGP slot, which is 4X/8X. Most
universal AGP slots are backward compatible. Meaning, they can accept
earlier versions of the AGP Standard:
AGP version 1.0...........1X, 2X ( running at 3.3v)
AGP version 2.0...........4X (1.5v)
AGP version 3.0...........8X (.8 or 1.5v)
In your case, the Universal AGP slot on your motherboard is only keyed to
accept 1.5volt-AGP video cards. In other words, your motherboard's BIOS AGP
setting can only max out from .8 volts to 1.5 volts. It can only accept AGP
4X or 8X not 1X and 2X cards. Hence it has limited downward compatibility.
Verify the voltage settings of your AGP slot in your CMOS program (aka
BIOS). Check if the AGP voltage is factory set at 1.5. If you see a 1.48 or
1.6, and you can't change it, it's good as 1.5.
