Yes, it _MAY_ be true. The old ASUS LX boards didn't provide enough juice to the AGP slot (1.5vdc instead of 1.6vdc). Anyway, I am fairly sure that ASUS has some sort of workaround... and it only mattered if you wanted to run at TOP speed. For example, the Guillemot Maxi Gamer Xentor 32 runs at 175/200, and on that board you have to slow it down to 160/180. Not a big deal, ya know? It's always fixable via drivers or BIOS, it seems.

Apparently LX boards don't seem to supply the correct voltage to the AGP port.
There is a solder fix for both Abit and Asus boards. the Abit board involves one wire from the 3.3V AGP PSU connector to one of the Voltage regulators.
What CPU are you running? It seems anything my P2-375 wont be powerfull enoug anyway, without the AGP problems.
I have heard V3 and TNT2's fail on certain LX boards unles they are moded.
I'm running an even more pathetic original PII 300. But I'm getting a G400 for the cool bump mapping, and also assuming I'm going to get some kind of K7 or Coppermine PIII later this year, and want the card I'm buying now to do it justice.
I'm not too concerned with speed on my current machine, just that it will work at all. Currently have a MAX on order. Hope I get it before the millenium.

While on the subject of voltage and mainboards - a vaguely related question.
Does anyone have any ideas why on the latest Gigabyte BX mobos (dual bios BX2000 or something) there are jumpers which must be set if you plan to fit a Voodoo3 in the AGP slot???
Cheers,
Steve
