I have a gigabte p4 board with PCIE and AGP. socket 775 sata ddr2 etc. However i was quite alarmed when I read the manual and it stated that the agp slot was a temporary option and would shorten the life of any card in there. So the AIW 9800PRO was sold and an X800GTO2 slotted in. They create the AGP bus by combining two old PCI slots. It doesnot perform as a normal AGP slot.

The Asrock mentioned above is the way to go.

Loads of people have that mobo on here, including me.

Great little board for £47.
