I now have an nvidia 5200 and would like to change to the AGP Radion 9800 pro all in one. Should I have any problems with this change?

How many watts is your power supply? It should say on the power supply itself. Ideally, you want a 300w or higher one, though there are some lower powered ones that have high enough +3.3v and +5v rails to support it.

When I take out the current card I will then have the AGP slot free. My power supply is above 300w so looking good to go. Thanks, fellas.

In case you're not already aware, remove *ALL* traces of your old video card drivers BEFORE installing the new card and drivers, otherwise you'll have endless headaches.
