AGP and PCI-E are different standards of interfacing to the motherboard and therefore have different connectors. AGP is an aging standard and will soon be replaced completely with PCI Express. If you have an AGP graphics card, but not an AGP slot on your motherboard, you will not be able to use the graphics card.

They wont work together. An AGP card has to use an AGP slot.
A PCI-E card has to PCI-E slot.

agp cards read and write at differnt times, and pci ex cards
will do this at the same time.

You will need a slot-stretcher to make it work.
