No, they are physically different buses.

What are the examples of expansion slot?
PCI, PCI-e, AGP
What are the different type of slots?
PCI PCI Ex 16 AGP
What is purpose of a agp slot?
It's a graphics card slot for the AGP graphics cards (the card with the ports you plug the monitor into), and like PCI and PCI-X, was superceded by PCI-Express around 2004. Hope this helps! SeanHolshouser
IS a PCI Express x16 bus or the latest AGP bus faster?
PCI Express 2.0 x 16 is the Fastest But PCI Express x16 is faster than AGP
Is an AGP 8x graphics card compatible with a PCI Express 2.0 port?
No. They are physically and electronically incompatible. Attempting to plug an AGP card into a PCI-E slot will likely damage both components.
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
Does AGP transfers data at the same speed as PCI Express?
No AGP is older and slower. AGP was superseded PCI Express in 2004.
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.
Are AGP and PCI the same?
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 Both PCI and AGP are out of date, you won't see any new motherboards or computers with AGP, and PCI is in 'legacy' status, that is, PCI slots are only included on motherboards to support older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)
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..
Can you switch your gpu interface to a pci-e 16x from an agp 8x without getting a new motherboard?
No, this is not possible. The chipset on your motherboard controls your interfaces, and if it's programmed to understand AGP instructions, it cannot use PCI express instructions. The chipset is soldered onto the board, and cannot be replaced. Not to mention you can't plug a PCI express card into a AGP port, or a regular PCI port, so you don't even have anyplace to plug the card in. In short, if you must have PCI express, and your motherboard isn't built for it, your only option is to get a new motherboard.
