can anyone recomend a decent motherboard with an agp socket with SATA 2, cheers

What socket is that for?

939, I'd say the Asrock - it's got the AGP AND PCI-E version.

ah yeh forgot about that, doh socket 939 for an x2 4200+
i supose i could go for a Abit KN8 Ultra nForce4 Ultra and get a mid range £100 gfx - iv read some previous posts about that board being fairly good

Are you gonna overclock it? If not, then just stick with the cheapest Mobo that suits your needs and go with a more powerful Graphics if you are into gaming - or more for the RAM if you run quite a few programs e.t.c.

The Asrock actually clocks pretty well but it's a fairly basic board e.g. only 2 fan headers incl. the CPUFan & the layout isn't great particularly if you use a sound card.
