[NTLUG:Discuss] new board and video card

This is more of a general hardware question than a Linux one.

I have been working on a P3 450 as my main machine and decided to
upgrade it to a P4. I bought an Asus P4B266-C with a P4 2 GHz and 512 MB.
My video card is an ATI All-in-Wonder 128 and works great.

I may have a problem. The Asus manual says only to use +1.5V video cards
and not to use +3.3V cards. It says that a +3.3V card may damage the
board.

So, what is the voltage of this video card? I had never heard of an
issue like this before. I checked out ATI's web site and found no
information about the voltage.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
