I have one problem. Have installed a new Abit IC7-G mainboard which says that I cannot use 3.3v AGP cards, must be 1.5V or 0.8V AGP cards. My PSU ( Antec 450W ATX12V) does not have either of these two voltages so what do I do? The AGP card is 256 MB nVidia G Force FX5700. What do I do?
 
It has literally nothing to do with your power supply. It has to do with the speeds of the AGP slot. 3.3volt I believe is 2x. But I may be mistaken. All the geforceFX5700's Are 4x/8x compatible. As is your motherboard. So you'll be fine. No worries mate :good:
 
The AGP voltage is a signaling voltage which goes along with AGP speeds. 1.5 goes with AGP 4x and 0.8V with AGP 8x. It has nothing to do with the power supply, as it's part of the chipset. Your card will work fine, as it's AGP 4x/8x compatible.
