which one better?

Shuttle vs FIC vs MSI?

What is an AGP with a sticker "support 1.5 volt"?

Thanks

MSI.

The sticker lets you know you can use older AGP 4x cards in your AGP 8x slot. The 4x slots give 1.5 volts to the card and 8x slots give .8 volts to the card.

I dunno - I always figure it's what you're looking for and what you can afford - agreed I'd avoid FIC but Shuttle makes a decent board or two?

I forgot about all of their great SFF systems. Silly me.

MSI. bye

The sticker essentially means that it is an AGP 3.0 slot. This means that it has support exclusively for gfx cards that are AGP 3.0 compliant. To be AGP 3.0 compliant, the card must draw 1.5v or 0.8v from the motherboard as the signalling voltage (previous AGP revisions drew 3.3v and maybe 5v if I remember right), and be 4x or 8x.

Shuttle can be ok, but outside an SFF box why bother. FIC. No.
