I want to get an N6800 video card but I need to know if it works with AGP 1.5V ASUS K8V-MX motherboard?

My motherboard manual says I can put a 1.5V AGP card into it but not a 3.3V card. Please just tell me if I can put the ASUS N6800 video card into it? Item description:

    As long as you have an AGP 4X/8X port (and you do), yes. But don't get the Asus card. You can get any graphics card you like but please, do not get the Asus. One, you have to use their drivers, you can't use the nVidia drivers (well, you can but some features will be disabled) and you can't use the Coolbits 2.0 overclocking tool. Go with an eVGA or XFX card, much better and you can use the standard (Better) nVidia drivers and the overclocking tool.

    You'll also need a spare hard drive connector to power the card.
