My computer didn't come with an AGP expansion slot, just extra PCIs. Is there a way to plug my AGP card into there, or do I have to install an adapter or something.

Nope. This is like putting a square peg in a round hole.
Look for a PCI video card.
If you get a new motherboard that has a AGP slot, make sure that you know what you are looking at. The old AGP boards and old AGP slots are different than the new 4X and 8X AGP slots. Again, it's like Apples and Oranges.

Nope. Sorry. AGP and PCI slots run cards differently.
They wouldn't be able to sell adapters because of the size of the card vs. the size of the slot on the PC (and size of the PC case) the card needs to fit into.

No sir... PCI and AGP are two different animals. A saving grace though is PCI cards are relatively inexpensive nowadays (keep an eye on the sales in the Sunday papers) and you can likely sell your AGP card on eBay to offset the price of the new PCI card.

As far as i know it is not possible to do so.
If you do find an adapter let me know but as far as i know there is absolutly nothing out there its 2 very different technologies
and many differences between PCI and AGP
your best bet is to get a new video card but of course that means dishing out some cash

No can do! AGP bus is different from PCI. You can buy good and cheap motherboards at www.newegg.com, just make sure you CPU is compatible with the board you will buy.

Can't be done, sorry. Unless... you have a PCIe slot... (in which case you could get a PCIe graphics card).
