Is there a way to use a videocard with a PCI-E 16x interface on a standard PCI or AGP mobo?

PCIe cards cannot be inserted into PCI slots.

PCIe only maintains software compatibility with PCI, but not hardware compatibility.

but it would involve swapping the motherboard :)

spending too much money on a PCI video card to install in that system. You can get a decent one for around $30.00. Any more would be a waste of money on that machine. Save the PCI-E card for a future machine.
