No it is not a problem. That memory is governed by the CPU and not the GPU.

IMPORTANT: One thing though, that I would look up and make sure is that the AGP standard is compatible between the GPU and your motherboard. They pertain to main AGP standards, in the Voltage delivery: AGP 3.3V and AGP 1.5V.

Here is link to an AGP wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_Graphics_Port), scroll down to the "Compatibility" section to read the details and see the graphic on the side to understand. I have...

Here is link to an AGP wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_Graphics_Port), scroll down to the "Compatibility" section to read the details and see the graphic on the side to understand. I have included an excerpt:

"AGP cards are backward and forward compatible within limits. 1.5 V-only keyed cards will not go into 3.3 V slots and vice versa, though "Universal" cards exist which will fit into either type of slot. There are also unkeyed "Universal" slots that will accept either type of card. When an AGP Universal card is plugged-into an AGP Universal slot, only the 1.5 V portion of the card is used."
