In the AGP 2.0 Specification there is this table:

b%5D

But I can't find a similar table in the AGP 1.0 Specification.

Does anybody know if the max current ratings for the AGP 1.0 connector / slot are the same, or different?

I did some research when I designed the AGP Power Monitor and did not get any conclusion for AGP1.0 back then either. I just went with the 2.0 spec, giving my max to be 10A (for safety margin) and be good with it. Since the connectors are physically the same, I'd assume similar specs.

The real current delivery capability would more depend on the mainboard itself, meaning if all rails come from the ATX power supply or in older cases some are generated on the board.
