With the outstanding R&D ability of AOpen and its specially developed circuit, AX4T II-533 / AX4T II-533N implements a blend 

new technology to protect your motherboard from being damaged by over-voltaging of AGP card. When AGP Protection 

Technology is implemented, this motherboard will automatically detect the voltage of AGP card and prevent your chipsets from 

being burnt out.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Warning:    It is strongly recommended not 

to install a 3.3V AGP card, which is not 

supported by Intel 850E.
