I did just try adding a PCI GeForce FX5200 to my machine which has an AGP
GeForce 6600GT in it and it simply began to bluescreen on booting once it
had installed the drivers for the new card ...

... After removal it was still bluescreening and so I've just done a Ghost
restore of the entire machine to fix it.
