I think the shadow let you think it's not the same color.
95% it's the same motherboard.

What I was thinking though, was if there is a proof they actually managed to get Rampy stable on this board. They might just made it to compatibility testing, before 3Dfx was sold.

I think 3dfx used this MB to test the first Revision A0 (like the one I have ULTRA RARE).

No 3dfx engineers said me it's stable on this MB. But I think it's stable on this motherboard because the engineers used this one to test the rampage A0 and A1. But in 2013 we need to test it.

I have one question:

The SE440BX-2 is AGP 2x only (not 4x).

is it support the rampage agp4x anyway with good voltage 1,5V?

EDIT:

I read that on internet:

The Intel(R) SE440BX-2 Motherboard complies with AGP revision 1.0. It
supports only +3.3V AGP-66/133 devices, therefore, it will not support
newer AGP cards (revision 2.0, +1.5V)

Perhaps it's for that in the lab (picture) the engineers used an AGP riser card up to the agp slot of the MB? to change the voltage.

Is it true?

Here is the pdf:

It doesn't make sense, I think that riser is used to test AGP cycles. If they needed 1.5V for Rampage they would have used a 1.5V motherboard.

I could be wrong but, thinking at the period in which the Rampage would have come out it should follow 2.0 specifics of the AGP standard. This mean that Rampage should work as the Voodoo4, 1x/2x@3.3V or 1x/2x/4x@1.5V

Rampage can be used in 3.3V or 1.5VAGP motherboards. - Oscar.
