The universal cards and have 3 slits cut into the agp card edge the 3.3V old cards have a slit that is cut closer to the monitor connector and the 1.5V cards have a slit cut closer to the 'back' of the card. I think ATI has a good description on line. The Asus board in question specifically (as per the manual) only supports 1.5V cards.
