will a graphic card thats designed for pci express (like nvidia geforce 8 series) fit to work in a regular pci slot?
if not .. what is the latest nvidia graphic card available for a regular pci slot?

They wont fit in each others slots.
The best PCI graphic card you could would be a nvidia 6200 PCI.
More important, will those cards be able to handle any of today's high end games? NO.

NO WAY!
This could be the fastest PCI card but it is from ATI:

BUT do not expect awesome performance from any PCI video card because the PCI bus is too SLOW for 3D graphics acceleration.
It would be futile to try to adapt current gpu technology to the PCI slot because it will just bottleneck/slowdown any good graphics processor.

PCI-E looks and shapes very differently, won't fit.
I believe some older GeForce still have PCI version.
