Someone at work gave me a Abit RX600XT video card. I have a PT800DB mb that does not have a PCI-e slot. Is there an adapter that I could buy to use this card?

Thank you.
 
PCI-e and AGP do not use the same voltage, nor do they work at the same speed. I seriously doubt that a simple adapter will allow such a thing to happen.

I've got nothing to hide, and I'd very much like to keep that away from prying eyes.
 
Not that I know of PCIe is so new so I think it would never happen any body would create an adapter. with the price of Mother boards it would be cheeper to get a new one.
