I'm upgrading soon to a AMD Athlon 64 3700+ and I was wondering what motherboard to get but I need one with a AGP slot. Any help would be appreciated

thanks,

Kurt

AGP? your pretty much buggered then, lol i think you can get the kt800s in AGP but they arent half as good as PCI-e boards and obviously you could get a AM2 if it was PCI-e.

I would wait till you can get PCI-e AGP is a dead socket next upgrade youll need another new mobo which is a real pain, i dont know anyone who didnt regret not getting pci-e when they upgraded.

Yeah but upgrading straight away to a PCI-E is out of my price range. If i had the money I would get a PCI-E card but atm I dont so Im just gonna get a better processor and an AGP motherboard then when I get a PCI-E card i'll get a good motherboard to go with it.

What im saying thats just an expensive way to do it, your as well waiting and putting the money you have now in a savings account and then save up for the new stuff as performance boost from CPU and mobo upgrade isnt close to what you can get from a new gfx card especailly someone that plays as many games as you do. Patience is usually the best policy it works out cheaper in the long run.

Ok, Thanks for that. I will probs get the Sapphire X1600XT PCI-E when i get the money. Isn't Direct X 10 only for vista?
