Core 2 Duo and microATX
If I were to buy a E6300 CPU and a microATX mobo with an 8x AGP and DDR400 support, will it run decently, or will it run compromised? I notice most mobo's that support this CPU are PCI-E and DDR2, but I don't want to trash my AGP GC and DDR400 just yet.

There are very few motherboards that support the Core 2 Duo and AGP, but the one I had was pretty good for what it offered, but AGP and DDR are becoming obsolete.
What kind of video card do you have now?

Try the ASRock 775DUAL-VISTA that'll take a dual core, an agp card and the ram...

Oh Yeah, Well, It's hard enough to find a MOBO with AGP, PCI-e and DDR and DDR2 Memory, nevermind finding all that in a micro type.
Why don't you consider getting a full sized case and get the DUAL-VISTA?

I don't see needing Core 2, PCIe, AGP, DDR and DDR2 as requirements. Just AGP, DDR & Core 2.
