No, just like you can't use a PCI card in an AGP slot (and vice versa) you can't use any of the two in PCIe either.

It's a different, incompatible technology.

I guess jblue wants to know whether you can use a PCIe card as primary graphics card along with addon cards like voodoo2.
I see no reason why this should not work.
