Nforce4 AGP Backward Compatible?

I just read a review for the new Gigabyte Nforce4 Ultra board which features
PCI-Express.
I dont think I saw an AGP port. Will current AGP cards fit in the
PCI-Express slots, or will you be forced to by a PCI-Ex card to work on
these new boards?

Well as AGP is AGP and not PCI there is no way an agp card will go in a non
agp slot is there.
Same as a pci card aint gonna go in an AGP slot.

You'll have to wait until they get VOIP perfected and implement IPv6 so that
every fridge can be addressed.
