Because it most likely is. AGP, stands for Accelerated Graphics Processor (loosely) If you can put a modem in that slot it would most likely be PCI.

The card must be PCI. AGP and PCI cards are physically different. The connections to the motherboard are not identical or interchangeable. The PCI card is located more to the back of the case or board, while the AGP card slots are away from the edge and noticeably more towards the center of the motherboard.

This is a common issue for AGP graphics cards if you are using an ATI chipset (for example: Radeon), or an ASUS chipset (for example: x800). Though I have not yet found the solution for this error, it does not seem to cause any major issues for Windows XP systems, so long as you maintain your Windows Updates.

It is also common for ATI / ASUS AGP graphics cards to report "echoes" - a PCI card that is "also installed" from your AGP socket. If this is the case, there may be issues with your motherboard or BIOS reporting incorrectly. Seek your computer manufacturer for technical assistance if this is the case.

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.
