No it will not... Simply put

They are a completely different slot on the computer. I don't know about putting a PCI-E into an AGP, but Albatron makes an adapter to fit an AGP into PCI-E AGP Adapter

MSI is just about to release a new videocard with both AGP 8x and PCI-Express 16x. The name is MSI Geminium VIII, and it is based on the ATI Radeon X800 XL-chipset.
A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
