AGP and PCI-E mobo

[Eddie G]

I just bought a new video card for my current AGP system and want to
upgrade my mobo and cpu. Other than the Asus P5V800, what other boards
support BOTH AGP and PCI Express GPU's?

Thanks!!

Asrock 939Dual SATAII

Don't be fooled by the budget price. Asrock is a budget arm of Asus and
the board is top quality.

There aren't many that are a east find, If your upgrading because of the
advantages of PCI X -IMO wait it out

I'd go for the Asrock 939 Dual. I went for the Biostar
NF4UL-A9 for the system I'm building, but found outlater that it's
XGP (what Biostar calls the AGP port) takes a perfrmance hit. From
what I read about the Asrock is that it doesn't take a performance
hit.

If you still have a P4 socket 478 around, there is the Asus P4V800D-X
for AGP *and* PCI Express 16x (x4 mode only) which is not expensive at
all but is not available in all countries (in several countries there
is the D - for dual - missing).

I may upgrade for my CPU but want a minimal investment. I looked at
the Asrock 939 and found the Asus cheaper. I would like to find a
mobo, CPU (intel 830 or equivelant) and 1 gb memory for under $500.

If you look for a value system, you may take into consideration an AMD
Sempron 64.
E.g., my Sempron 64 2800+ is about as quick as my Pentium 4 2.4C 800
HT - on an Asrock K8S8X with the latest BIOS (socket 754). So I have
plenty of time in waiting for AMD's socket AM2... BTW:
Asrock have an interesting mainboard for socket 754 on nForce4 basis,
the K8NF4G-SATA2 <http://www.asrock.com/product/K8NF4G-SATA2.htm>.
