in my experience with flashing PC cards in a PC, i use an old PCI video card so that i can see what is happening to the AGP card throughout the flashing process.
there is a command in the NVFlash.exe tool that will let you know what slot each card is in, so that when you issue the command to copy the new rom to the agp card, you select the right card. the strangedogs forum is long gone, i believe. themacelite forum is all that's left, but it is a good place to find instructions, links to the flashing tool, and a good database of rim's.
