AGP slots are just glorified pci slots which allow for an increase bus speed through
deception beyond that of the 33 Mhz which the pci slot itself can provide.

Because it is not also occurring in Windows is a good indication that the problem is
not 'bad' hardware, though it could still be hardware related--processor speed, RAM,
shared IRQs.
If installing as an upgrade does not solve the problem, install again except choose
X-3.3.6 with accel.
Once all obvious causes/solutions have been eliminated it then becomes the tedious
process of trial and error.
