Hello everyone, i want to buy a new mother, but i don't know wich.
i need a mother with agp slot and with dual core (it doesn't matter if it's amd or intel)
Thanks

Well to buy a motherboard with only an agp slot would definitely be money thrown out the window, and since you have an agp card, you can't buy a pci-e only one. You might want to check out some of the Asrock combo ones like these:

i have a hard time understainding the question.
you want a new motherboard it does not matter if its amd or intel?
currently you are on a socket 478.
the best motherboard on that socket is the P4P800-e and the P4C800-e.

i cant recomend the PCI-e AGP combo mobo's because the speed of the AGP slot is limited.

amd cpu doesnt fit in a intel mobo and vice versa, we are not in the socket7 area anymore.

lol
agp slot is not limited but i cant say for pcie slot becouse pcie slot on combo mbo works at x4 or x8

Stop buying intel. You're killing AMD.

The AGP slot isn't limited and even if the pci-e slot runs on 8x, thats pretty good for a combo motherboard. Asrock motherboards are very economical, yet the quality is acceptable. The only thing that was negative when i had mine was the overclocking.

screenager, it doesn't matter what cpu i have now, becouse i want to buy a dual core too

If you want a skt775 mobo with agp only, then go with the ASUS P5S800SE (not Conroe compatible), P5PE-VM (MicroATX, AGP, Conroe compatible, but only 2 dimm slots) or P5P800-VM (same as first onlt MicroATX)

Thanks IModIntel, i'm seeing an ASUS fan

You're welcome

ASrock motherboards are a division of ASUS motherboards but ASUS does it on purpose to cut features and quality to cut down the price. Yeah, i'm an ASUS fan because i've had ASUS boards 7/10 times and they were the ones that satisfied me the most.

If you are looking to overclock your PC a lot though, go with DFI or Abit instead. Besides that, go with ASUS
