So i have heard of voltage irregularities being the main problem with video cards. So im trying to find what voltage my mother board supports through the agp slot. it says when i look at the documentation that its AGP connector size 172 pins AGP connector data width (maximum) 32 bits AGP bus protocols 4x/2x modes at 1.5 V so this means that i mean looking for a video card that has the same voltage 1.5? and would a card that is 8x and 64 bits work? also i have heard agp 2.0 and 3.0 how do i find out which one i am using?
