It is possible, having both an AGP and PCI express on the same board is 
a hack, and not even all AGP cards are compatible with these mobos.  It 
would be better to test it with a PCI express graphics card, if you can 
grab one. I'd be happy to lend you one for testing, but I guess we are 
not in the same town ;)  (Chania here...)
