Generally, if an AGP circuit is not designed for dual voltage, the slot
itself will be keyed (as well as the card) so that an incompatible card will
not fit in the slot.
If the card is capable of AGP4X, it should run at 1.5v.

You might try calling ATI to be absolutely sure.

HELLO

I can't be certain but aren't the agp pro expansion slot and the
newest one out reversed from the older agp 4x & 2x slots because of
the voltage differences. You might want to look into to this.

Thanks much, that chart was just what I needed.  I'm surprised I didn't run
across it myself.

Unfortunately, it verifies that my customer can't use the old video card in
the new system.  Bummer.
