Default AGP PCIE mobo

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813157081
Has any one used this mobo or any other AGP and PCIE combo mobos. I want to hold onto my 6800 but sometime in the future get a 7800 PCIE.

Did you read the reviews posted by ppl who purchased the mainbord. If you click on the little gold folders under ASROCK, you can read the reviews. You have tp remeber that some of the ppl who buy can not even screw in a light bulb, they break the motherboard and then moan and try to return it and post a bad reveiw and some are highly experienced. You have to weigh the what they have posted.

Why dont you just keep an AGP board until you decide to upgrade to a PCI-E?

prob need to upgrade from skt-a XP 2800+ to a s939

that board is ok, being asrock it is not the best make, but the M1695 chipset is decent.

I wouldn't go to such a combo board as many of them are limited to 8x PCIe...
