Im just going to by a new Motherboard Gigabyte GA-8IE with AGP4 1,5v, but my old Graphic card is Creative GeForce 256 Pro.
I have run this Graphic card on a Abit BX6 v2 AGP1 3.3v and AGP2 3.3v.
Gigabyt's gives a warning about the voltage and write "AGP 4X, supports 1.5V display card only".
I wrote to Creative and the anser is "All Creativs GeForce card works on P4 motherboard"
I ask again about how i change fron 3.3v to 1.5v on the grafphic card!
And the anser is "All Creative Geforce card works with 3.3v AND 1.5v and i dont ned to change anything"

Can this realy works the diferent betven 1.5v or 3.3v is big, and Gigabyte say "if i put an 3.3v card in the AGP4 1.5 i risk to burn the hole motherbard"

My computer die for about 6v ago and im desperat!

LOL! OK, there is a reason your BX board reports the card as 3.3v! And it's not your card! It's that the BX is AGP2x, and the spec for AGP2x is 3.3v! The spec for AGP4x is 1.5V! The cards are supposed to be compatable with both!
