I just bought a gigabyte K8N pro SLI mother board for a friend at a computer swap meet. At the meet (rather than take the 2 seconds to look myself rolleyes.gif ) i asked the man i was buying it from whether the board took PCIE or AGP graphix cards, he told me they took AGP, of course i then went and bought an AGP card (Winfast A6600GT 128m). Is there no way that i can use my AGP card (short of buying a new motherboard)?

Thanks in advance for any help.

No, you can sell your motherboard and get another one (Usually most places let you swap). SLI boards are all PCIe.

Unless, you're willing to swap your graphics card for a PCIe. AGP cards costs more than PCIe cards.
