pci adapter? there's such thing???

[gikidaerc]

may be a stupid question...or may be not.

is there some sorth of a way to use a ATI-ALL-IN WONDER X600 PRO 256 PCI EXPRESS on a non-pci express mobo??? may be an adapter that crosses pins or whatever. If none whats the solution? If i have to buy a new mobo what is the best mobo has a pci-express slot?

You need to use it in a PCIe Motherboard...period. There are a number of good PCIe motherboards. If you're not overclocking, the MSI board I'm using is a nice inexpensive board with a decent feature set and stable.

Well, I've never seen one, but there isn't any reason why there couldn't be a PCIe to PCI bridge. Regardless of the possibilities, rbV5 is right, you're taking the wrong approach.

As far as what mobo to get, I'll let others field that Q

It's clearly possible to convert PCI-E to AGP and vice-versa. NVIDIA does it all the time with a bridge chip. But if you want a general purpose adapter, I've never seen one. It might be more complicated than simply changing pin order and what not. And even then you'd have a video card that sits higher up than most computer cases would expect. Whether that alone would cause a problem I don't know.
