Generally speaking no. There are only a few with AGP slots, and they tie lead weights to the card - slow it down to hell n back :|

You can always cut the PCI Express card to fit the AGP slot
*Hint: DO NOT DO THAT, I saw on another forum where a kid did that. Don't know if he did or not,but if he did....he's a dumb dumb. The pic could've been photoshopped.
But to get back on topic, AGP will not fit PCI Express

Most boards use chipsets which do not have support for both AGP and PCI Express. It's one or the other. Albatron (or maybe it was Abit, I forget) had a board which added AGP to one of their boards with PCI Express, which was a hack job (really low AGP performance). ULI just now has a chip which can do both well but I have not seen any boards with it yet in retail.
FYI PCI-X stands for PCI Extended. Usually found in the workstation/server market.
