mobo with agp and pci express GPU

[Eddie G]

Don't know if this is the right group for this, but 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!!

Ha, sorry my friend but that does not exist. You either get AGP, or
PCI-E. If you are upgrading I recommend you buy a motherboard with PCI
Express because it's a newer technology and has more cards available
for it, and you can even get two of them in SLI or Crossfire mode.

Vlad needs to go down to his local PC store and check the motherboard stock.

Plenty of boards support both AGP and PCI-E... but I don't think
simultaneously.

Here's an example:

It's a good way to upgrade your motherboard while still keeping the older
AGP graphics card that you probably paid a lot of $s for. And you can get
the PCI-E card later.
