Hello, Professionals.

Can there be any way to:

1. Use an AGP graphics card in a machine equipped with a PCIe slot?

2. Use a PCIe graphics card in a machine having an AGP slot?

Regards.

some (one?) mobo supports both slots .. somewhat limits your choices tho..or are you talking about about an adapter .. which I have never seen (AGP-->pci-e)

Thanks, gentlemen. The pages generated by the google search (courtesy: foxyshadis) convinced me that:

1. Adapter cards exist (e.g. Albatron's ATOP - for AgpTOPciexpress)
2. They are for entry-level cards only
3. They are really not worth spending time and money over.

Thanks again for your time. Best regards.
