Perhaps there is an adapter/converter i can buy, or something i can do so that I can use a pci-e card on and agp slot. They're so gosh darn cheap!

NO WAY! BUT the manufacturers actually DO IT FOR YOU. Most of the fast cards now are designed and built for PCIe interface. However, since there are still millions of PCs on AGP, the manufacturers have deviced a way of making some of the PCIe cards to work on AGP interface. They placed an AGP bridge chip on the PCIe card, thus the AGP versions are more costly. Of course, the AGP version only plugs into an AGP slot.

No. But there may be available an AGP card to PCIe slot converter:

Realize that the current AGP cards are nearly identical to PCIe cards except that they have different slots and are using a special conversion on the card to translate the signals for use on the AGP slot.

There are no adapters available for PCI-E to AGP. On the other hand, computers with PCI-E slots are dead cheap:

No but it should work at a slower rate in an ordinary PCI slot.
