For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.You can insert ANY AGP graphics card into an AGP slot. The AGP slot is effectively a communications port which allows the main board to talk to the adaptor. The adaptor itself is essentially a computer that deals with graphics, so there is no need for any further compatibility (in the same way that you can connect any two computers together via LAN adaptors - the specifications of the two computers do not have to be compatible in any other way).
Buy the AGP adaptor of your choice, then disable the on board adaptor in the BIOS settings.

Its not quite true to say you can install any agp card in any agp slot. I have 2 kinds (3.3 volt and 1.5 volt technology), but cards cannot be installed in the wrong motherboard because of different keyways, which are physical differences in the connectors.
it appears there is now a 3rd kind, 0.8 volt, which I have not yet seen in use anywhere
