1)  Use either the 30.82 or 41.09 NVidia drivers for that card.
2)  Make sure you have the updates for XP.
3)  Update to DX9.0b, if you have not done so.

This problem occurs when the the video card drivers and DirectX get out of sycn with each other.  Normally, removing the video driver and reinstalling it will take care of the problem.

No,..the PCI and AGP buses won't allow either cards to be plugged into the other bus.
