You would think...as did I that a video card is a video card is a video card if it's AGP. I found out the hard way that that is not neccessarily the case. My Radeon9800P won't work with that Soyo Dragon2 i875 board because (I'm guessing here) the board doesn't supply enough voltage to the card.

Only if the board is AGP 2x will it not work. If it is 4x or 8x it will work no problem.
