With agp listed it probably is fine,what the x stands for,who knows,you do
need
a agp slot,youre now using pci .IExpress that require diffrent slot
configurations.
AGP slots are usually brn in color,and reside above all the PCI slots.

Your motherboard supports 8X AGP
For more info see: http://www.ocworkbench.com/2002/asus/a7v8x/a7v8xp1.htm

The video card is available in AGX and PCI versions, so be certain you buy
the AGP card.
