4X(1.5V) mode by adjusting the jumper. The factory default for this card

Color", the graphics card manufacturer & some SiS 305 cards, their
golden finger is compatible with 2X(3.3V)/4X(1.5V) mode AGP slot, but
they support 2X(3.3V) only. The GA-8S655FX Ultra/GA-8S655FX (-L)

install this card in it.

ATi Rage 128 Pro chip, the design of AG32S(G) is compliance with
AGP 4X(1.5V) specification. Therefore, AG32S (G)will work fine with
