I've been testing PCI version of Zotac GT520 with Pentium 3 1.4 GHz. It's not a great card, but has working H.264 video acceleration. Unfortunately PCI bus gets saturated easily and overall performance is not that good.
PCIe to PCI adapters obviously do exist, either as standalone devices, or embedded in graphics card like GT520 PCI, but they are limited by 133MB/s transfer of PCI slot. Is there a way to overcome this limit?
Would it be possible to:
1. Solder AGP connector to PCI-e to PCI adapter, so it will work as 66MHz PCI card in AGP slot, having 266MB/s transfer?
or
2. Remove GPU chip from PCB of non-native AGP card (which used PCIe to AGP bridge) and solder cables coming out of PCIe riser to appropriate BGA pads?
