AGP slot styles 1

[Titan12022]

I have noticed that with AGP slots there seems to be two different types of slots, the cards of one will fit into the other but not the other way around. But when buying an AGP card how do I know which type is which?

I have on motherboard that says use 1.5v cards only, and only one of the types fits in it...

Hi Titan, after reading the above two urls' you will be an AGP genioius

The first URL posted above is what I usually recommend as well. It's has screenshots and a nice chart.

In short, any AGP 4x card should work in your motherboard. 1.5v first came out in late AGP 2x models, but in all AGP 4x models.
