Running at 1.5 volts Radeon 9800 Series

Is there any of the Radeon 9800 Series that run at other than 1.5 volts?

I am considering the purchase of a MOBO that specifies it will only
"support" AGP cards running at 1.5 volts. Does this setting require some
fiddling on my part, or is this the default "running" setting for the cards.

The MOBO is the SOYO SY-P4I875P-D2 card, FWIW. For the video I was thinking
about the 9800 Pro.

Thanks for your help.

Ummm...... that is the standard voltage for all modern cards and mobo's with
8x agp......

Cool, thanks. I wouldn't have thought about this, but the MOBO document said
that the board would not support AGP cards running at 3.3 volts. I guess
the intent was discourage "overclocking" or tampering with the voltage
settings of the board, through some means (beyond me, anyway).

Thanks again, Xeon!

The intent was to not support older boards that require 3.3. volts. Has
nothing to do with overclocking etc.
