AGP 3.0

I am thinking of upgrading my video card on a Pentium IV 1.6 Ghz, 2
years old (ASUS motherboard).

However, I see that newest cards use AGP 3.0 bus. Can I expect this
computer to be compliant ?

The recent AGP version is 3.5 - compliance? recent video cards are working
in 1.5 volt mode only. However, old systems (mobos) used 3 volt AGP (only)
others are capable of sensing the agp voltage (1.5/3.0) Check your mobo type
/manual....and see what's up to
