lets try this again, yes was checked.
here is also what i found for specs on the mother board. I do not know the voltage.
Intel Desktop Board D845BG/D845PT Technical Product Specification
26
1.8.1 AGP
✏ NOTE
The AGP connector is keyed for 1.5 V AGP cards only. Do not attempt to install a legacy 3.3 V
AGP card. The AGP connector is not mechanically compatible with legacy 3.3 V AGP cards.
The AGP connector supports AGP add-in cards with 1.5 V Switching Voltage Level (SVL).
Legacy 3.3 V AGP cards are not supported.
For information about Refer to
The location of the AGP connector Figure 1, page 14
The signal names of the AGP connector Table 36, page 68
AGP is a high-performance interface for graphics-intensive applications, such as 3D applications.
While based on the PCI Local Bus Specification, Rev. 2.2, AGP is independent of the PCI bus and
is intended for exclusive use with graphical display devices. AGP overcomes certain limitations of
the PCI bus related to handling large amounts of graphics data with the following features:
Pipelined memory read and write operations that hide memory access latency
Demultiplexing of address and data on the bus for nearly 100 percent efficiency
For information about Refer to
Obtaining the Accelerated Graphics Port Interface Specification Section 1.5, page 19

I believe this Motherboard of yours is too old to add any cost to (ie a new AGP card)
You may be able to find an old video card on eBay or somewhere if yours is not working properly
But given the age of the Motherboard I would highly recommend updating the Motherboard not the AGP graphics card (if at all possible anyway)
I cannot advise you any further on this thread regarding your hardware, including purchasing a new Motherboard. You may be best to purchase an entire new system (recommended)
This thread will have no other input placed on it by me.
I hope that you have been satisfied with the support given already
