I am not sure, but I though nVidia cards were different. I have used a tnt2
before I had my radeon (I used it with that previous motherboard) and back
then, I have been advised to compile kernels without AGP support since the
nVidia drivers wouldn't use them anyway (despite the fact that it was a 4x
agp card). NVidia seems to have his own method of accessing the agp bus.
