This problem getting/keeping AGP cards properly inserted in the slot seems to 
have gotten some attention from the manufacturers.

I just bought a Matrox G400.  It has a little widget next to the edge 
connector that seems to help keep it from going too far into the slot.  I 
installed this card _very_ easily, and incredibly, it worked right the first 
time!

In addition to the widget -- a little L-shaped extension of the card -- there 
are 2 notches in the edge connector instead of 1.
