    No.

    You probably mean PCI-E, PCI-X is something different (for servers or something?).

    no, it is possible to fit it, but you'd have to cut it yourself and then have a none working gfx card, yes buy a new motherboard cheapass

    The Philips Freeline LS2100 should have a PCI-E slot on the mobo. If its an MS-7046 mobo anyways.
    Unless its been changed at any point?

    FYI: AsRock make a few motherboards - with "DUAL" in their name - eg latest is 4CoreDual- SATA2 - which have DUAL video card interfaces/slots - ie an AGP (x8 speed, ie full) AND a PCI-E (only x4 speed, though seems only 1-5% difference versus x16 speed). Can only have ONE video card in, but gives one flexibility to use an existing/legacy AGP now, and swapout with a faster/greater PCI-E later.

    lol what a retard.
    if you want a combo motherboard get a Jetway 754GT-G-PV (or something like that) Its an AMD sckt 754 and has both AGP and PCI-E. This is what i am currently using and for what i need it is great.

    However please note that any graphics card above the gforce 7 series for nvidia cards I beleive require a minimum of x8 PCI-E lanes.
    I painfully discovered this after having a dual interface board, when I upgraded from my 7800GS AGP to the 8800GTX PCI-E it would not work due to the lack of PCI-E lanes. So I ended up getting a new motherboard, ram and eventually a cpu.

    Though seeing as AGP is back from the dead, you still got options.
