it will work. AGP is only relevant when the GPU is doing mmap()'s to main 
memory used as extended texture memory. but for most applications you 
don't need that much texture memory (*all* linux applications, except 
maybe Maya..) so you never texture offboard RAM. in which case AGP is 
irrelevant.
