Are there any PCI Express motherboards? Are there cards available with AGP?

I don't beleive any PCI Express video cards are available yet. Also, just judging from the pictures above, they all appear to fit in an AGP slot.

There aren't.

Now, to find out how long it'll take to get one of the IceQ II critters available in the UK ... *sigh*

I'm afraid I'm about to prove you wrong:

Asus Radeon X800 XT 2xDVI PCI-E 16x card for sale at Akibahara (JAP):

So there

You sure it's for sale, not pre-order? (not that *I* can tell from that site

).

I'm pretty positive having read on The Inq that Q3 would be it for PCI-E, pretty much.

Course - even the Inq gets things wrong sometimes...

Yes, that is supposed to be an actual retail piece off the shelf of a store and not a sample.

There are others as well:

GeForce PCX 5750

And some X600 Radeon models.

Actually, if you look closely, you will notice that:

The top row of two ICEQ cards are AGP
The bottom two rows of cards are PCI-Express

As far as I know the PCI-Express cards are available as of Yesterday?, but still no motherboards in sight. The first mobo off the block is supposed to be the LGA775 i915 Abit AG8, then the LGA775 i925 AA8 both will have PCI-Express. note the AS8 is AGP not PCI-Express.
