Will the old NF7s v2.0 work with newer AGP cards?

I've been thinking of getting a newer vid-card for my aging Nf7s v2.0
(mobile athlon @ 2580). I remember the last time I tried this though, I
couldn't get either my 9500 Pro or 9800 Pro to work reliably with either a
Chaintech AJA200e (Kt133e chipset) or ECS K7s5a no matter what I tried. Has
anyone tried either a 6800 Ultra 256MB or X800XT 256MB with an NF7s v2.0? I
don't want to be the first to find out it won't work.

AFAIK there has been no major change to AGP specs since 8* cards were
introduced.
My NF7s v2.0 worked fine with a 9800 Pro (till something else went wrong
with the board)

I'm using 6800LE with the NF7-S2. It's very similar, as far as I know, to
the NF7-S.
It has nVidia nforce2 Chipset

I'm running a 6800GT 256mb (same as the ultra) on a nf7s v2.0. I'm
having cooling issues with it now that it's summer, but it works well
otherwise.
