Hi:

you may not be able to physically fit the card in the slot.  the new cards
may have a different tab argangment and may not phyicaly fit.  That is
because of voltage differences in the cards.  New boards changed the design
of the AGP slot so older cards would not fit.  Card manufactorers put 2
slots in the tab so the will fit and work in old or new boards

Either way you will not obtain the full potential of the card in that
system if it is not a 4x agp slot on the board
