Cesar:
Save your money; I don't believe that it's going to work. AGP 1.0 devices
operate at 3.3 volts while AGP 2.0 devices operate at 1.5 volts. The two
types of cards can be identified by the position of a slot (gap) in the pin
pattern. AGP 1.0 cards have the slot towards the header (where the monitor
cable is attached); AGP 2.0 cards have the slot away from the header.

Some newer motherboards will accept either version.
