I have a GeoForce FX 5200 video card and Windows XP installed. If I go see
the driver properties of the video card, I can read "Location: PCI Slot 7
(PCI bus 1, device 0, function 0). Does that mean it is seen as a PCI card?
If I run a benchmark of my card, it performs very low. I just updated the
chipset of my computer, but it didn't help. How can I do to have it seen as
an AGP 8x card?

Here's my computer:
AMD Thoroughbred 2600+
ASUS A7V8X-X (motherboard)
ASUS V9520 Geoforce FX-5200 Magic 128mb

The AGP slot *IS* PCI bus number one.

Look at some of your PCI cards, they should show up as PCI bus 0.
