No, they are completely different. PCI is a general purpose card interface, AGP is specifically for video cards. Most often you will see an older machine that has one AGP slot and several PCI slots.
Both PCI and AGP are out of date, you won't see any new motherboards or computers with AGP, and PCI is in 'legacy' status, that is, PCI slots are only included on motherboards to support older cards that the owner might have.
The modern slot is PCI-e (which is incompatible with the older PCI)

Does AGP transfers data at the same speed as PCI Express?
No AGP is older and slower. AGP was superseded PCI Express in 2004.
What are the examples of expansion slot?
PCI, PCI-e, AGP
How can you tell your computer has a PCI express slot?
Its either shorter than pci or longer than pci and agp Its either shorter than pci or longer than pci and agp Its either shorter than pci or longer than pci and agp
Why would you prefer to use PCI Express for the video card rather than AGP?
PCI express is about twice as fast as AGP and will ultimately replace AGP.
Which is faster a PCI Express x16 bus or the latest AGP bus?
The PCI Express x16 is intended to ultimately replace the AGP bus along with the PCI-X and the Conventional PCI.
Will a agp video card work on a pci express motherboard?
No. There's a reason there's AGP and then there's PCI-E..
What are the different type of slots?
PCI PCI Ex 16 AGP
Is agp quickly being replaced by pci express?
It's safe to say that agp has already been replaced by pci express.
What buses are commonly used by graphics cards?
PCI , AGP and PCI Express
What type of graphics card does the dell dim4600 with xp home service pack 2 support out of pci pci express and agp?
agp
Will a PCI card work in an AGP slot of computer motherboard?
The PCI video card should work, but you may need to change a setting in your BIOS to recognize it. Enter "setup" when the computer starts, and look for a setting about video options. There is usually a setting indicating to seek an AGP or a PCI video card upon startup. NO! A pci video card will only fit into a pci slot in a motherboard. Likewise an agp will only fit into an agp slot. They are completely different. Both of these above answers are right and wrong. PCI and AGP are two totally different standards, but as long as you have an open PCI slot, you can use a PCI video card and opt not to use the AGP (Make sure to change appropriate options in your BIOS.) ==Answer == Yes you can use a PCI card where the slot is avaliable, but if your motherboard has a slot for AGP cards it is worth noting that the systemboard was designed with AGP in mind. It offers a system bus direct to the prossesor for faster unhindered communication.Running a PCI card on a AGP board may and probably will slow down your system performance.
Which is faster a pci express bus or the latest agp bus?
PCI Express
