AGP GPU - Dual CPU mobos?
Are there any mobos that support both AGP GPUs and dual core CPUs?

Yeah, cause I can't buy a new GPU. I'm limited at 300$, and I doubt I can get a decent GPU, mobo and a CPU with that cash.bad_brain wrote:let me guess, you want to use your old g-card on a new system?
I thought about that too, but decided it's not worth it because the g-card will be a bottleneck. the only practical option might be a board with AGP and PCIe, but I only found a socket 939 one...

You're just pissing your money away by spending 300 on a motherboard. The lowest I'd be willing to go on a mobo would be $50. A motherboard in the $100-$150 dollar range is going to be your best option in terms of price-performance-tweakablity. But if you're not wanting to tweak, just stick with one in the $50-100 range. Also if you do get a PCI-E (x16 or 2.0, they should be backwards compatable) I'd suggest you look at nVidia's new 9000 series. They're going for ~$200 right now.

yeah, the high-priced mainboards only include stuff you don't need anyway (if you're not a extreme gaming weirdo), like SLI...
300 bucks should be enough for a decent mainboard (AsRock or MSI have some good and cheap ones), a good AMD X2 CPU and then you still should have about 150 bucks left for the g-card.
