AGP stands for Accelerated Graphics Port.
sadly this form factor was short lived, up until the release of pci express and 2.0 AGP was the standard for all graphics cards.

Buy a motherboard with an AGP slot.
The original IBM compatible parts used an 8-bit ISA slot. After that, they moved to a 16-bit ISA slot. There were other things like a VESA slot that didn't last for long. Then there were PCI slots (not express), and AGP was a faster video card slot standard. Then PCI-express replaced both PCI and AGP.
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.
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...

Yes, AGP is completely backwards compatible.

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.
Few computer devices communicate directly to the monitor...the only one is the video card. Some video cards are built into the motherboard, called an integrated video card, and some fit into an expansion slot like an AGP slot, a PCI slot, or a PCI-E slot. In fact, computers run JUST FINE without a monitor attached....the monitor is there only so you know what the computer is doing. All other devices inside or attached to the computer communicate directly through the motherboard. The monitor is the human-readable "presentation" of what is going on inside the computer!
No.. AGP is the Graphics Port and PCI Express is Multi-Purpose..
AGP
Yes.
