I have a good AGP video card that I recently bought along with a few other things but it's time to upgrade, motherboard fried, everything is just going wrong.

Wanting the next computer I build to last a while, AM2, DDR2, PCIe, but also be compatible with the things i can't afford new at the current time but will be able to hopefully one day, I definately want to stick my new AGP card for now.

SO basically is there any good reliable Dual Motherboards available?
 
What do you mean by "dual motherboards"? Are you wanting two motherboards, is "Dual" a brand your looking at? Or are you referring to a dual-socket motherboard?
 
A Motherboard that supports AGP and PCIe, and If it also supported my DDR 2700 300MGZ 184 pin ram that would be great as well, along with DDR2 slots for the future.

Also when looking @ motherboards that will support my RAM type, do I only need to pay attention to 184 pin, 333 MHz, or is there more to it that i need to watch out for?

Sorry, you can't have them both.
You'll either have to upgrade to AM2/DDR2/PCI-E or go to E-bay and find an older board that supports your present processor/RAM/AGP card.

No, ASRock as well as one or two other manufacturers make motherboards that support both PCI-E/AGP and DDR/DDR2.

I stand corrected but do you truly recommend him to buy ASRock?
Any links for him to get one?

I used them on the LGA775 platform, and while they aren't meant for overclockers they are great for people who want to upgrade, but can't buy new parts all at once.
