Nope, not only will it not work, it won't fit in the slot either. PCI cards can only be used in PCI slots, AGP cards can only be used in AGP slots.

The only cards that can fit in different slots were the older legacy cards. An 8 bit card will fit in either an ISA or VLB slot, and will work in ISA, I'm not sure about VLB. The ISA card will fit in a VLB slot, and I think it will work too. Nothing else will fit another type slot, or work if you manage to plug it in.

If you had everything...Where would you put it?
