</div>There used to be PCIe slot to AGP chips bridge chips in the early days<br>
of PCIe, but never the reverse.<br>

My guess is that you are out of luck with AGP these days, as chips don't<br>
have the circuitry for it anymore.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>There are rumours of nVidia releasing the 8000 series as an AGP card, but as far as I can tell it's not been released yet. The latest AGP nVidia cards I can find are 7 series. Good enough for myth, but not good enough for the VDPAU stuff. :(<br>

Now, anybody seen a recent NVIDIA card on VESA Local Bus?<br>
