PCI Express and AGP New MSI Socket 775 Boards

Hi All

Might sound like a stupid question.

Thinking about getting one of the new 775 Socket mainboards from MSI - It
appears that there is no AGP slot on the board?

It has a PCI Express 16x slot in place. I take it that the AGP card that I
currently have now fits into this slot? or is it a completely different
connector requiring a completely different Video card, ie a new type?

Thanks

Shunt....

OK Cheers

I was reading the spec of the new MSI Video cards and they say they are PCI
Express 16x Compliant however they have an AGP Connector.

Oh well

That settles it anyhow!

Thanks
