The AGP connector installed on the Intel® desktop boards listed below is keyed for 1.5V and 0.8V AGP cards only, and only supports AGP Graphics cards at 4X and 8X speeds.
The AGP connector is not mechanically compatible with 3.3V AGP cards. To some the 1.5V and 0.8V AGP connector might appear backwards because the connector key is exactly the opposite of the 3.3V AGP connector.
