I understood that if it was keyed for 1.5v then it should run in a 1.5v board. Can anyone confirm that based on their experience?

Just read a web page that says the v4 will still draw 3.3v despite the keying, wondering if that's true or claptrap.

aha! On 3dfxzone it looks like someone had a v4 running in a p4 board:

Well, in case I'm not the only one interested, now installed my v4 in a soyo 845 motherboard [1.5v agp] and it works fine. 😀

Benchmark:
System: p4 2.8 ghz, win2k no sps, 512mb ram, santa cruz, latest driver from falconfly
Results:
3dmark99 won't run [seems to be a 2k issue]
3dmark2000: 3158 all on defaults
3dmark2001se: 1598 all on defaults

The 3dmark2001se result is between half and two-thirds what a v5 gives with an athlon xp2000 under 98.
