AMD motherboards

LukeMan970 · 11-30-2005, 07:11 AM

Hello, I'm looking for a motherboard that would be compatible with this processor:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103569
The only thing is is that I need an 8x/4x AGP slot and standard PCI slots, not PCI express. my video card can't do that. But anyways does anyone know or can recommend the best mobo for those kind of specs?

i think i got what you ment on the no pci express 16 slots use agp
"i recomend changingvideo card to pci, bevause AGP is fading out and is no longer being used really"

what kind of video card so you have?

and check this out if thats not what you wanted, and can configure your searches to the parts you NEED.

If you try the second link that DillyMan 2 gave you should be able to find what you are looking for at NewEgg. They still have a number of good motherboards with AGP 8X slots for the socket 939.

i would suggest getting a motherboard with both grafics interfaces

so, with a 8x AGP and a PCI-E 16x slot

this would leave you the door open to upgrade later, without having to upgrade the whole pc

Archangel do you know any motherboards like that? I've never seen or heard of any mobo with both PCI express and AGP, i'd like to find that though. But to the other question, right now i have a 6800 ultra 256, so you can see why i don't really feel like buying a new graphics card

. But yeah anyone who can post a link to a motherboard with PCI express and AGP slots would be a huge help. Thanks so far you all have been real helpful.

Here you go

Note this is also upgradable to socket M2 so you can keep on top of technology.

LukeMan970 · 12-01-2005, 07:35 AM

By the looks of it thats exactly the kind of motherboard i was looking for, thanks a bunch. But what exactly does the M2 mean?

**Archangel** · 12-01-2005, 08:56 AM

M2 is the new AMD socket wich will be released. however, i hardly think it will be worth investing much money into it, because it will be kinda the same as socket 754 was for the AMD64 series

LukeMan970 · 12-12-2005, 01:58 AM

Hey i just noticed that on the memory it says "DDR 400 (PC 3200)" under the DDR Standard part, does this mean that i can only use PC 3200 RAM or could i use something like PC 3500?

mrm24_86 · 12-12-2005, 09:13 PM

Yes you can put PC3500 in a PC3200 board but you would be wasting money because it would only run at 3200. Hope that answers your question!!!
