AGP and PCI-E Motherboards?
- Thread starter nffc10
- Start date
Are there any such motherboards?
Most of those board will only run a few AGP cards, not to compatible
Yea it seems like I saw a Asrock 939 board with a slot to mount a Asrock adapter for a AM2 processor with DDR and DDR2 slots

All the ones they make are crap. I would never buy one. Your either PCI-Ex or AGP, both is just stupid.

As long as you dont want to overclock (much), there fine. I used one and it actually performed very well.
True it doesnt perform as well as an Intel or nVidia based board, for the price and features it offers, it's a great choice for some.

Still wouldnt trust one, having 2 different interfaces like that on there could cause some problems......and lead to instability issues.

It has it's downfalls, but if your a person who is extremely poor, and have a Pentium 4 socket 478, AGP card, DDR ram, etc, and you want to get a Core 2 Duo, this way you can use your existing AGP card and DDR RAM without needing to buy new stuff right away.

ASRock's mobo for S939 and AM2 which has DDR, DDR2, AGP8X and PCI-E 16x, has the AGP and PCI-E at the full speed. AGP and PCI-E versions of the same card perform the same on that motherboard.
