Try reaseating the card first.  Many people on this site have installed videocards in an 8200.  I remember there were problems with 5900 BFG brand cards, try doing a search (is very slow but effective) of this site.  That card does work if the card is good and the power connector is connected.  (Maybe someone reading this has succeeded with the 8200 and 5900 combination?)

JDre's advice is right on the money. As for the AGP slot, it's a 4x AGP slot.
