I'll try and find another system I can test the card in. It looks like it's in mint condition so it would be odd that it was dead, but stranger things have happened. I think it's just that this system has strangeness with the AGP port. There was another AGP card I had tried (a Fire GL I think) that caused the fans to go full speed and gave me the 1 long 2 short beep thing. Maybe this system doesn't like 64MB AGP cards for some reason?

Sure, anything is possible. YOu may be on to something, but our machines are fairly different, I was using a dimension xps r400 which is 440bx based system.

However I'll say this: it only threw a beep code when I installed a 64mb Geforce2 by itself, while a 32mb variant worked fine. Both are AGP. Good luck 😀
