LAST VOODOO 5 AGP capable Intel mainboard socket?

[Blinx123]

Hi guys,

I'm just building up some nice custom hardware with my own built OS. I would like to use an Intel mainboard and (out of couriosity) a Voodoo 5 5500AGP for some prototyping work. Does anyone of you know the latest Intel socket which used to have AGP 2x/4x with 3.3volts?

And BTW: Before anyone mentions AMD CPUs: I can't use them,as they aren't supported by the OS' Kernel actually.

What's the problem?

Not familiar with my writing?

Twas day as I wrote this and actually I'm somehow a kind of nocturnal animal  :lol:

Ah,yes. Now I know what you mean. Actually I want to know which was the last Intel socket using AGP 2x. I can't imagine there are socket 775 mainboards out there,that have AGP 2x 3.3v Slots on them so there must be a last generation of sockets/mainboards using them.

Yeah,something at a German hardware forum wrote the same. Thank god I'm familiar with the German language.

No,badly AGP 8x won't work. At worst it can destroy the mainboard in only a few seconds when equipped with a AGP 2x graphicscard.

Good idea. But as I know it's hard to get a AGP-PCIe bridge. I have a Geforce 7 Card with a PCIe-AGP bridge and this one is darn expensive and hard to find.

Ok,just found a nice list. Pentium 4 mainboards aren't capable of equipping AGP 2x cards properly. There are only some universal AGP slots but as I'm informed these aren't that save anyway. So looks like I'll stick to a small Pentium 3 Mainboard (hopefully there are some which fit into desktop cases like a modified Amiga 1000 Desktop)and rewrite the kernel of my os, as the Pentium 3 isn't capable of SSE2 and thats exactly what the OS will stop from booting in it's previous state.

BTW: If anyone is interested in this,here is the list:

Yeah,but if it's only at 1,5V that won't make a difference thought. The Voodoo 5 5500 needs (as about 2 third of all AGP 2x cards) an 3.3V AGP 2x slot.

Yay,just found this video on youtube and I love it. That was the time Intel truely ruled.

Yeah,but the P4 CPUs are getting a "little bit" to hot for my taste and the deep pipeline architecture of the NetBurst technology won't fit my requirements either. So I'll stick to a nice little Pentium 3 Tualatin512 1,4Ghz.
