Geforce FX5200 voltage question

[Gabriel Knight]

Hi all

I have a mobo that supports an AGP 4x card but it needs to be 1.5v

Is the Geforce FX5200 ok to run is it 1.5v? mine is the one with the
heatsink and fan.

Thanks
GK

AGP 4x is always 1.5v.

All Geforce cards with native AGP interface (like your FX5200) support
3.3v and 1.5v just fine.

The danger lies in a few cards that were labelled and coded as AGP4x but
only supported 3.3v. However, *all* these cards (like some RivaTNT2s,
Matrox G400 etc) predate the Radeon/Geforce aera.
