PCI Express/AGP

I am putting together a CAD PC.  I was told that Dell is shipping only PCI Express graphics cards but the programs I need to use have approved only AGP cards.  They typically run several months behind in "certifying" graphics cards.
 
Is there  a CAD specific PCI card?
Can a certified AGP card be used in a PCI port?
 
Thanks
Eric

You cannot use an AGP card in a PCI Express slot - and there are no current Dell desktop models that use AGP cards.

You may still be able to find a refurbished 4600 or 8300 system that has AGP video - otherwise, you will likely have to look elsewhere.
