The PCI Express x16 slot is intended to replace AGP.  I guess listing it as the 
AGP slot saved them from properly updating their description.

Only if you were ecstatic about replacing your PCI video card with an AGP one.  
Technically, it's better/faster/newer, but that doesn't always translate into being 
ecstatic.  :-)

Probably PCI Express x1 slots.
