is pci Express really THAT much better than AGP.. im building a new computer, and im trying to decide between sticking with one with an agp so i can still use my Radeon 9500 (is that even worth it?), or should i go with another that uses a PCI express and get some sort of x800 or gt6600 card for around $150.. id be doing mostly graphic work in CS but there will be some gaming involved...thanks for the help in advance.. 1

7800 gtx ko evga is the fastest video card around,and in sli its crazy fast.so fast they dont even make games that can use all that speed.i myself have a 6800 gt overclocked bfg card.this one runs all games,call of duty 2,fear,quake 4.fear i have the cpu on high,the video card on med.i auto detected to get best opti.the game runs sweet,same with the others.you dont need all that power right now,but probably next year when next gen really hits probably time to get pci-e[pci express]i have a mobo that with do both agp or pci-e.its a asrock 939-sata 2.when the prices of the video cards come down ill probably upgrade then.if you have the jing jing go sli 2 evga 7800gtx ko,there is nothing that compares to 2 of those baby in sli right now....peace

go to the asrock web site i think the new bios support dual core:

http://www.asrock.com/support/Download/dl_939Dual-SATA2.htm#bios


it does only the x2 4400 rev 6 check this out

if your an overclocker,not much support there vcore only 1.45 no higher but im happy,got some killer ram,its all good

i just want to let you know.i have this board playing doom3 on ultra,fear on high,hl2 on 16 x anti.this motherboard is so quick.all i have is a 6800gt overclocked bfg agp card not pci express,x-fi sound with 64mb ram,1gb ocz el patinums,3700+ san diego[single core]and the games just smoke.not even overclocked.this mobo is unbeliveable,just make sure you flash bios and update drivers on mobo,before i did the update the board was dead.now its on firrrrre.peace

oh my lord thats crazy.nah the boards runnimng great probably fry something...lol...i wrote to asrock and told them to please open this board up.if this board runs this good the way it is,just imagine what a new bios with oc will do.hopefully they will update.does a 3700+ san diego have a locked mutiplier?or is this mobo locked at 11 with the vcore locked at 1.45?

the mobos overclocking sucks theres nothing.hey did you read about the monkey and the donkey in the other posts?if you didnt go read it,the post is the dude with the endless ps and video card...lol
