Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) cards are attached to a computer's mother board. Their main purpose is to provide faster graphics rendering for 3d computer graphics.
AGP slot is one of the types of video card available. Nowadays, almost every CPU has one AGP card slot. AGP cards are automatically detected as in-built video cards when connected to AGP slot of system. They provide better resolution than onboard/integrated video.
AGP or Accelerated Graphics Port slots are used for graphics cards. Display quality is significantly enhanced when using AGP video cards.
any pci or pci-e video card. such as ATI Radeon video cards (not agp ones) or NVidia GeForce video cards (again, excluding the agp ones)
AnswerYes.Added:Sometimes! Not all AGP 1x or 2x video cards will have the same connection type as 4x or 8x cards, some older cards will not physically fit in the slot for modern motherboards.

No. PCI-E is typically a very light beige color and is for anything from video cards, to sound cards, NIC card, etc. An AGP slot ( Advanced Graphics Processor ) slot is no doubt specifically designed for Video cards. There are many different types of AGP ( 4x, 8x, etc ) and all were designed before the PCI-E had come out, to give the video card better speed than the standard PCI could handle.

As it's name implies, AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) slots are commonly used for high-performance video cards. Other devices using the AGP slot are possible, but rare. It could also be used for sound cards, extra USB card...
Several hundred video cards, based on dozens of chipsets, support the AGP bus.
An AGP slot is a post-PCI/pre-PCIx graphic card interface bus. It was a step up from the PCI video cards, but were phased out with the PCIx standard.

You can upgrade an AGP video card to any other AGP video card.
