PS - The whole issue is because the motherboard in question is AGP4x and not backward compatible with 2x or 1x. &nbsp;The video card is backwards compatible with older AGP2x and 1x systems. &nbsp;To be a 4x card, it must accept standard 4x level power, 1.5v, and its backwards compatibility means it has a way to step down the higher power of older systems. &nbsp;An older 2x only card would try to draw 3.3v from the system and cause problems. &nbsp;The Inno3D, being a proper 4x rated card, will not do this.

Thanks magarity, Inno3D (finally) agreed with your asessment and the combination passed the smoke test ;-)

3.3v cards are explicitly not allowed and may cause damage to the board.<br />
<br />
The Inno3D (<a href="http://www.inno3d.com/product_mx.html" rel="ugc">http://www.inno3d.com/product_mx.html</a>) has a combined edge connector, i.e. it has notches to allow it to be placed in either a 3.3v or 1.5v AGP slot.<br />
<br />
Has anybody tested this combination? Are all Geforce2 cards 1.5v? Is the Inno3D Geforce2 MX 400 1.5v?<br />
