also system profiler reads the card as a Radeon HD 2400XT
I remember on my commuter when I installed the nvidia 6600 none of the injectors ever worked so I used an efi string in the universal installer. but the Universal installer doesn't offer one for the 512MB version of the Radeon HD 2400 pro and when I use the 256 version I boot to a blue screen.

I can't believe you have a store that sells agp cards.
Well if you can get the card that is more capable I advise so.
As a wise person once told me:

Do the following:
1. Check you IOPCIMatch at Systemprofiler it's combiniton of DeviceID and VendorID
2. Go to Terminal
3. Type:
sudo -s
nano /System/Libraries/Extensions//ATIRadeonX2000.kext/Contents/Info.plist4. Add your IOPCIMatch to the <string> at below <key>IOPCIMathc</key>
5. Reboot using -f
6. Have fun with QE enabled!
