1.5 volts is the power used by a 4X agp bus on the motherboard.
0.8 volts is the power used by a 8X agp bus on the motherboard.
The Nvidia 5200 is what's called a universal card, all the ones I've seen support a 1X-8X agp bus.
It would be difficult if not impossible to find a modern motherboard that does not support that card.
I think at some point you've confused volts and agp bus speed.
If you'll post your shopping lost before you buy any pcmech member who sees it will be happy to tell you anything else you need to know.
