Nforce2 8X AGP with 1,5 volt only - what it means?

[edurm]

What a hell is that? why does the agp support 1,5v only? Does it suport all kind of agp graphics card?

If you take a detailed look at MOB speecs from asus and msi with nforce2 chipset you will note this observation (agp 1,5v support only)


does anyone know the issue? any guess?

thank you

This might help you understand. The 1.5 V is describing the connector not the signaling. The signaling would be 0.8 V on AGP 8X.
