agp card in a pci-e mboard?

I wonder if some1 can help me? My agp graphics card has just died, so im going to upgrade my motherboard to pci-e and get a new processer. The board i can get really cheap is a gigabyte 965p. My question is i dont really want to get a expensive pci-e dx9 card when dx10 will be out soon so can i get a really cheap agp card and will it run in this board just for now thx.

Ok thx for that. Looking round the net it seems some people say that it will be another year to 18 months for real dx10 games to come out so i might get a fairly good dx9 card for now i think

Good idea. That will also allow some of the original bugs to be worked out of Vista too.

Yup. PCI-E has taken over the market so you can find great deals. X850XTPE for like $120, or 7600GT for like $130. No AGP card in that range can come close.

Am going to get a http://www.ebuyer.com:80/UK/produc [...] 2445121792

think this will do for about a year or so

Can I put a agp 8x graphic card into a PCI Express 16x slot?

You know, while that might be a super cheap, no frills board, it would help me get into a Core 2 Duo or Kentsfield slowly and cheaply. I've got a good AGP graphics card, I've 2GB of Kingston Hyper-X DDR and I've got a good 430W PSU that can probably work with the mobo. I can buy this cheap board and a nice new C2D or Quad Core Kentsfield and be up and running. I bet this motherboard has zero overclocking options though.
