FYI ... I was just searching through various video cards and one $39.99
($49.99 - $10 mail-in rebate) GeForce 6200 128MB AGP card stuck out ...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814125217

Specifically near the bottom ...

  "Intel Pentium 4/III/II/Celeron, AMD K6/Athlon or compatible
   with AGP 8X (0.8V)/4X (1.5V) slot"

It _specifically_ states 1.5V.  It also says Pentium II and AMD K6.
Virtually every other 6000-series card I've seen says Pentium III or
Duron minimum, and _nothing_ about voltages.  So this is a good chance
that it'll work with old AGP x2/x4 mainboards that supported 1.5V/3.3V.
