dear nvidia-experts:

is it possible to buy an nvidia pci-express graphics card, and use it
in a pci slot (at lower bus speed)?

i have an agp based machine running linux on a 6800AGP for another 6
months or so. I am thinking about adding a second graphics card in
order to try out whether I can get three monitors to work. it would be
nice if I could purchase a card that I can take along to my next
computer...

No. They're two entirely different animals.
