I am looking to update my video card, an nVidia Geforce FX 5200.
My motherboard is an Asus K8S-MX
Im pretty certain that i could get an nVidia 7800 GS
However, in the manual for my motherboard, it says i should install only +1.5V AGP cards
All i need to know is whether the nVidia 7800 GS is a +1.5V card

Now i have found that all 4x and 8x agp cards are 1.5/0.8 volts which means they can be either one. that is why they are called 4X/8X. Usually 4X = 1.5 volts and 8X=0.8 volts.It really doesnt matter how the notches are but that the notches line up with your MB slot. I have read on the net that 1.5 volt cards have 2 notches in the connector while the early 1Xand 2x video cards have only one notch.

My FX5200 and my 6200 gs has 2 notches in them.
