The A7V133 comes with a tab installed in the AGP slot. If the
TNT2 Ultra is an AGP Pro card, you have to remove this tab or
the card won't fit. Check the ASUS manual, it has instructions.
If, by chance, you don't have the manual, you can download it in
PDF format from their website, and then read it with Adobe Acrobat.

Hope this helps.
