Not sure where you are looking but I know for a fact that the 6600 and 6800 come in both AGP and PCI-express variations. Now not all places carry both types so just look at another site or store.
An AGP card does not fit into a PCI-e slot nor does a PCI-e card fit into an AGP slot and most motherboards only have one or the other.
