I put a 4x AGP 32MB card in my Abit BH6 board.  I was running Windows 2000
Pro.  I would actually get "hard" lockups.  The REALLY weird part is it
would only lock up when I clicked my left mouse button, and not always the
first time (some times it would be the 20th or 30th time).  However, as soon
as I put my old AGP card back in the problem went completely away.

I'm going to get myself a new TNT4 card, but also get a new MB and Chip at
the same time because I'm certain it will not work, as well as the fact that
I wouldn't get the full performance out of it anyway.

supports 4X, otherwise you'll have a fast expensive card that cannot operate
at full tilt.  Whether its drivers will lock up your system or not work at
all is anybody's guess.
