agp to pci-e adapter

hi everybody, just needed to ask this: I have an older pc with a newer agp graphics card. It plays games relatively fast. I got a new computer for christmas and it has a pci-e card slot with an onboard(256 mb nvidia geforce 6100) that dosent run anywhere near 256mb. Is there ANYTHING THAT I CAN USE (That is cheap of course ;) ) to convert the agp into pci-e, this can include any adapters, or changes.

Not that I know of, the equivalent in hardware like vid-cards are cheaper for PCI-e than for AGP. So you can probably sell you ragp card and have enough to buy th esame card for pci-e brand new. Go to newegg .com and comapre, you'll see what I mean.

its slow as your "256mb" onboard card is actually 8mb and steals the rest from system RAM.
