I'm planning on builing a new computer for myself and i'm trying to do some research. I'm not too familiar in this area but i do know my fair share about computer hardware. I just wanted to know if an ASUS P5GDC-V Deluxe Mobo would be compatible with an EVGA nVIDIA GeForce 6800 Graphics Card. The card says it needs either a 4X or 8X AGP Slot, but no where in the specs of the mobo can i find if it's compliant or not.
If these 2 are not compatible i am willing to change the mobo, so if there is any suggestions i am open to them. Please keep in mind i'm on a budget and can't spend TOO much on these parts.

Shoot, well i guess i'll for sure have to look for another one. I was looking at the DFI LanParty PRO875B Mobo, lots of extras and has an AGP slot so i think i'll get this one. Still compatible with P4 with HT Tech.

Thanks for all the info, but i decided to get the DFI LanParty mobo. I have another question/dillema though, i want to get a GeForce 6800 graphics card, but i don't know whether i want to get the 6800 or the 6800GT. Each one looks great, but i don't know if i should save up a bit more and get the GT or settle with the 6800. Oh and i'm getting the prices from newegg.com, if anyone knows of a site or place that i can get them cheaper please let me know.

The two cards have a small performance difference unless you're a super gamer and jack up the resolution to 1600x1200 and run it with AA/AF maxed.
If you do like running games with those insane settings, you should really get the 6800GT. If you run in say... 1024x768 with no or very little AA/AF i'd just get the 6800. In most benchmarks with lower resoltutions and the AA/AF turned down the 6800 is only a few fps behind the 6800GT

Wow, you should get honestly like a 400% increase on the old Ti series. My 9700 dominated that series and that was what? 2... 3 years ago?
