Maybe or maybe not. I had a 5834 that you had to flash the bios to use an
ATI card.

Would any brand 16mb AGP work in this PC then?

The memory size is not an issue. You could use a 32, 64 or 128MB card if it
is AGP 2X/4X compatible. Most ATI Radeons are 2X/4X compatible even if they
are also 8X. A few GeForce cards have this backwards compatibility. There
may be a patch SoftPaq for some cards on the HP/Compaq website.

As I said before, I have a nVidia TNT2 M64 AGP with 32MB video card
but I don't know whether or not it is 2x/4x compatible and I've read
that this PC's motherboard won't provide enough power to this video
card....

The power problem is with newer GeForce cards. The TNT2 is an older AGP 2X
card. The 5852 has plenty of power for it.
