3D Fuzion claims _all_ of their AGP cards are 1.5V compatible:

Just make sure you have an AGP 2.0 (2x/4x) mainboard that really _does_
support 1.5V cards, and not merely 3.3V like AGP 1.0 (1x/2x) and some
early AGP 2.0 (2x/4x) mainboards only did.

If you can pass on your mainboard make/model, I can try to verify this.

seem to be more interested in blindly aligning themselves
with one of only two viewponts -- an "us v. them" debate
that has nothing to do with finding an actual solution.
