As far as I remember AGI was transitional form of AGP slot in time when PCIe was starting to be dominant solution or something like that.

Yes you can insert AGP graphics card in that slot but, there can be some compatibility issues.
Here is quote from asrock site:

QUOTE:
AGI 8X slot:
This is the same interface we designed for our legendary 845GV and 865GV series boards. It is famous for its capability to adopt AGP8X/4X (1.5V only) cards. This feature was considered impossible in the past, due to the design limitation from the Intel® chipsets.

As long as you can insert AGP card in that slot and the card works, doesn't matter how colored AGI slot is

According to this:

It should work and even overclock better then PCIe counterpart.

Problem with your motherboard is that it has AGI port that isn't 100% compatible with AGP but I'm pretty sure that HD 3850 will work on ConRoe865GV.
