Best S939 with AGP board? ( 2 Views )

1. I'm looking to buy an X2 CPU in a few months and want to use an AGP card. Most S939 boards I've seen are only PCI-E. So I'm wondering if there are any good motherboards with S939 AND AGP?

4. I've got a ECS KV2 lite and it's running the cpu at 50*C all the time.
   I tried a Gigabyte GA K8U-939 and it ran good but couldn't run games????
   I just ordered a ASUS A8V. I'm not much of a O/C so that's not a problem.
   There are several out there. ASROCK has one with both AGP and PCIex16(or whatever it's called :D ) Keep looking you'll find something.
   When I get my board I'll chime in on how it runs.
   :cool:

5. Biostar Tforce 4U has a pseudo AGP called an XGP... Radeon 9800's run in it, If I can't sell my Radeon 9800 it's a toss up between the Asrock board or the Biostar board.

   Not anymore :(
   
   There's a couple still floating around out there but I wasn't impressed with any of them. And good luck finding a NF3 board. My brother's Epox 9NDA3+ (NF3) board up and died recently and we were hoping to get him something different like the MSI Neo Platinum, but we ended up going with another Epox as it was the only option available. I've had 3 of those Epox boards die on me so I imagine this new one will eventually also. (I abandoned mine for a DFI NF4 Lanparty)
   
   I guess you could get a cheapo VIA or ULi based board, but all the boards I saw looked like budget boards, and I wanted something that could actually overclock reliably.
   
   If you're buying a new CPU and motherboard you should really get a new video card also. You're not going to find any AGP boards still out there that are very good
   
   You can get a good performing PCI-e video card for pretty cheap if money is an issue. I think it would be money better spent.

8. Gigabyte K8NS Ultra-939 = very good board

9. The AGP issue isn't a problem anymore. Thanks for the replies though. The reason was because of Gigabyte 6600GT *PASSIVE*. But now I see there's 7600GS which is PCI-E and PASSIVE also :D nice price too.
