Upgrading CPU and Motherboard

[themask446]

Hi, I've been thinking to upgrading to Athlon 64 4800+ X2 DualCore
with M52L-S3 AM2, nForce 520LE, DDRII800, PCI-E now my question is this: I have Radeon HD 2600 512MB but it's "AGP 8x/ compliant motherboard with one x16 graphic slot" as the box says so can I some how maybe plug it in the new mother board with PCI-E slot?

Thanks

AGP 8x and PCI-Ex16 are 2 different types of slots. AGP is not compatible with PCI-E. They're not interchangeable, the motherboard is just telling you it has an AGP slot and a PCI-Ex16 slot.

So basicaly there is no way to some how connect my video card to PCI-E?
By the way the AGP motherboards,are they still manufactured? Because I'm having trouble finding one in my local computer stores...

AGP motherboards are still manufactured. But they're pretty hard to find and relatively cheaply made because AGP is a dying technology. You would be better off just getting another card for the new motherboard.
