Confused about the AGP slot on my motherboard

Check out the attachment. Apparently my motherboard only supports 3.3 V voltage, yet it claims to be 4x compatible. Isn't this just plain wrong? I thought 3.3 V was meant for 1x and 2x only.

I wonder if this is why about half of the AGP cards I own have failed to work with the board; yet, physically they all fit in the slot, even the newest 8x cards...

i815 chipset support AGP 4x, so even 1,5V signalling voltage. I'd be surprised if it was different on your motherboard.

Yet it's proven to be quite picky... Well, I suppose I'll just have to keep trying to see which cards work and which don't. I suppose I could also try and update the BIOS.
