I'll second that. Consider the cost of a cheapo AGP card and a 100MHz
SDRAM module
over against the time you'll spend messing around with your
configuration. You can
keep the spares as known-good stuff and use them many times for testing
your various
boxen, and then if you need them you're up and running again while you
spec faster,
more quality stuff as a permanent replacement.
