Hi TitanHenry :welcome:

AFAIK operating systems regard AGP as a "super-PCI" so your card may well be listed correctly.

If you run the Microsoft dxdiag utility (it should run from Start | Run) and go to the Display page, "AGP Texture Acceleration" should be enabled if your PC has detected AGP properly.
