Well, my card did work during 2 or 3 months without problem. It was running in a ABIT IS7-G chipset ¡865, just compatible with AGP4x and 8x. Sometime I had some random reboot. I thought that the problem was the SFFT Alpha driver. But one day the card did not boot more...
If you check the card with the Everest Home edition. You will see like the card just works to 1x and 2x. But if you try with a V4, you will see compatibility to AGP1x, 2x and 4x. I have here 2 V5 5500 with NOTCH like AGP4x more, and both cards works just to 3.3v.
Rolo01 has a V5 5500 AGP4x too. But his v5 doesn't boot in a ASUS ¡865 or ¡875 chipset. Sloomy tried his V5 AGP4x in a ¡845 Board and worked well.
According Hank Semenec: Quote:Yes the notch means that 1.5V support is there. No, the card will not be destroyed when plugged into 4X only system. The IO voltage is sparated from 3.3V and takes VVDQ from the slot (3.3V or 1.5V).
Mainly, V4 does run AGP 4X protocol, that is the only one! If the card is notched with 1.5V key then it will run.

And now what?
