I have been trying all of the different guides / tip I can find to get my AGP 3850HD running. This last one actually booted with Natit.kext in the extensions folders, which is a first for me, as that has crashed me on the boot every time so far. I am actually showing 1/2 correct info in the system profiler too, which is a HUGE improvement. I would like to find out how to change it to the AGP version of the card though. Thanks for reading!

You may want to look into AGPGart. It should make OS X recognize your AGP slot and load the correct driver for it. I used to use it with an older NVIDIA card to enable QE/CI but it should work with yours... at least to get it to detect as AGP. A quick search brought this up, you could give it a shot:

Good luck!
