Are you sure that your Radeon is a PCI card, and not a PCIe card? If it is the PCIe variety, it isn't going to work in a regular PCI slot(s), which is what I would think that your motherboard, with an AGP slot has.

I just checked on that video card. It is a PCI Express card, and unless you have a PCI Express slot, in your computer, which I doubt, it isn't going to work.
