Sorry I was on vaction and had caught up on some things at work as well as
home. Yes, I left out that detail. I found the Voodoo 4 is the only card
in that it supports AGP 4X (1.5V)

Time to hunt them down.

:-/ I had a system like that but it became to unusable with the newer
linux software stacks. Pentium III are only so fast.

Thanks for the query. I settled for a AGP 8x board. I believe I can find
cards that work with it as well as PCI based cards.
