UPDATE:
Removed the notch key from AGP slot. Used verified Voodoo5 cards for testing. Results: The AGP Express slot present on ECS mainboards is compatible with AGP 2x (3.3v) cards but offers virtualy the same performance as a regular 33Mhz PCI slot.
A couple of screenshots:

Testing was done with no optimisations (BIOS, settings...) hence I guess the low scores.

Would it be possible to to provide 3.3v on a universal (no notches) slot 4x motherboard?

Has anyone tried modifying a riser card?

Note: I have no technical expertise in these matters as you can probably tell.

Did somebody try a v5 AGP in a compatible LGA775 board with AGP Express slot ?
Only Komponent did this?

As I remember seeing nobody post about it, I thought dropping a line here:
For testing my 3.3V only 3dfx cards in my main rig I've been using for some time the Biostar K9T890-A9 motherboard with modded XGP slot (removed the pseudo-8x AGP notch).
I can confirm that it is safe and of better performance than my previous ECS MB with AGP Express.
...
Nice thing it can natively take the 939 socket dual core CPUs, still no money at the moment to buy one and running it with a 3800+ A64.
