Hi,

This is a prototype, never sold. It was keyed for 1.5V slot and it should operate in new motherboards.

Like the PCI versions of the  Voodoo3 2000, 3000 Voodoo4 4500, Voodoo5 5000 and 5500 already are?

These cards are also keyed at 1.5V for newer Mobo's are they not?.

Thank you HanK !!

Yes, the card realy works on newer Motherboards. And powerstrip says, it is working  @ AGP 4X !! I will add some pictures later..

Hi Obi-Wan

PCI has no 1.5V key, it is 3.3V or 5V key. When both keys are cut on the PCI card, the card is universal PCI.

Hi,
Is there any difference between A1 and A2 rev. card? Sloomy's V5 5500 AGP4x rev1 is showed with AGP4x capabilities, but my V5 5500 AGP4x revA2 is showed with AGP2x rate though.

osckhar,

looks like your aperature is too small for 4x.  some motherboards will gimp down the throttle depending on the aperature size you set in the BIOS.  also, is the jumper (zero ohm resistor) installed on the first or second pin of the AGP port on the card on both?

@bloodworm,
I have tried my different V5 agp4X with the multimeter and I have obtained:

V5 5500 AGP4x
Rev A2 3300
Multimeter= 58.9


V5 5500 AGP4x DVI
Rev A2 3300
Multimeter= 58.7

V5 5500 AGP4x (died)
Rev A2 3300
Multimeter = 56.6

Multimeter  1= 3.3V
Multimeter  0= 1.5V
