I remember reading somewhere that the Intel 845 chipset based boards can not work with the older 3.3v agp cards...is there any truth to this and is the original G400 DH one of the 'incompatible' cards?

Here is what I found so far:

From Intel, tyhe descriptions for both the I850 and I845/E/G chipsets specify AGP 2.0 spec. It states 1.5V AGP 2X/4X only. The older 3.3V AGP 2X cards will damage the chipset on the motherboards.

This chart at Gigabyte is not very definitive.

Everyone should take note of the AGP requirements of Intel chipsets.
