Hello all,
I've been searching latly for a adapter that will allow an agp video card 2 go into a pci slot. and was wondering if i could get any light shed on this. so far the only thing i've been able to find is this and i have no idea what it says japanse or sumtin

thanks all
 
read a little further down on this page


ppl using PCs, this product most likely WILL NOT work with the IBM AT compatibles, it's strictly developed for the japanese nec pc-98xx which is not AT compatible. if you read some of the posts in english below it describes some of the problem. mainly the IRQ's are incompatible. the graphic card for this product also requires AGP1.0 due to the fact that it only is capable of handling 3.3V signals.
 
😉 Yeah I'd have to say it is technically impossible to get an AGP card in a PCI slot, there is a lot more that is different other than simple pins.
 
I thought I had seen an adapter to allow an AGP card in a PCI slot around here in a thread that brought a great deal of amusement to repliers. Maybe it was the other way around. As I recall I said I'd wait until they had the AGP to VLB converter before I bought one.

Anyway, unless you have a motherboard given to you by your dearly departed mother which you cannot bring yourself to part with or it's some extremely specialized part the adapter makes no sense economically, muchless in terms of performance.
 
Well thanks all,
the only reason i wanted one because my geforce 2 ti was supposed 2 come with color out and it came with it but only in black and white witch sucks.
and i have a voodoo 3500 with color tvout and wanted 2 put in my computer for the pure fact i could watch dvds on tv in color instead of having to use my monitor but oh well thanks again
