AGP version does exist! I ordered 3 of the x800GTO2 from Atacom (advertised as PCI-E) and guess what I get today? 3 AGPs! I'm not going to open them (have noticed that there are 2 STOP stickers on the bag - one is broken indicating the seal has been previously broken and the top one is normal), but I can clearly see the AGP connector. Also has a molex connector instead of a PEG. Also has a bit more unused PCB on the right side of the card than the PCI-E ones do.

Dude, you don't want those. Send them back. What you ordered is an AGP card, but it's not a GTO2, it's a plain GTO and only has 12 pipes and will always only have 12 pipes. They aren't moddable. Don't fiddle with it any further or they might not accept your return.
