Best socket 939 with AGP ?

cableguy2003 · 6 Sep 2006 at 23:31

Right , ive got a decent AGP card i want to utilise with a 939 CPU , i would prefer am2 but im guessing no board exists in AM2 with a AGP slot ?

So i want the best board i can use my AGP Card with and a PCI Card for triple monitor display.

Used to use an NF7-S so want to move towards a newer cpu.

Cheers

ASRock 939DualSATA-2 is the answer

Has both AGP and PCI-E ports, so you can upgrade that without buying a new motherboard aswell.

Can i use both the AGP port and the PCI-E port at the same time to utilise multi monitor ?

I swear i read somewhere about this, and there is a way you can do it.

i had 2 of these boards recently in a row faulty from overclockers, both with the same fault. they work ok except no output from an AGP card, and the pcie and agp dual is the best feature of this board and was the reason i bought it. so probably a faulty batch so watch out. the guy in the shop said they are basically rubbish and the agp and pci-e just doesnt work well. im sure someone will disagree with me but just a word of warning

remember each faulty item has to be tested etc etc and it really is irritating (even though it isn't overclockers fault).

Working fine here :confused:

X800XT-PE AGP scored 7000 in 3dmark, switched over to an x1800 and it's scoring 9000, which sounds bang on to me.

should be ok. as these faults were about a month ago, and overclockers support said they were having trouble with these boards so they should have sent the batch back if its nackered
