939 Socket Mobo with AGP...

[tradejose]

I'm trying to save money building my PC so I still wanna use my Radeon 9600 Pro (AGP), which is a good vid card for the games I play. From doing a lot of research I've decided on going with an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ CPU:

Now I need a good, cheap mobo that supports AGP. Any recommendations?

the fastest nf3 board 939 agp socket is: k8n ultra nf3 neo2 platium
i have 2 of them and i tried 2 others this one rocks....what kind of ram do you have?

I would love to recommend the Epox series of NF3 boards, the A3 Plus and A3J, are the same board except the AJ does not come with Firewire, and two extra SATA Ports, and some other bells and whistles, but it is rock solid stable running my 0504 Winnie at 2.55 ghz, 285LTD, rock stable. With some pdp pc3200 ram, 2.5 3-2-10 at 239fsb that is cheap at newegg right now for 71 dollars for a stick of 512mb. HTH.

If you're using a 9600 Pro right now, I'd imagine in the future you'd probably upgrade only to another AGP card before refreshing your system completely (with 939 a board swap for PCIe is possible), so 754 might be a better option to save money. (PCIe might even make it to that socket anyway, but that remains to be seen). The Epox 939 boards are nice if you're set on that socket, though.

Epox 9NDA3+ or 9NDA3J. This board is a very good overclocker and it is stable. But be aware that if you have a big cooler on your video card, the SATA port 1 and 2 could be blocked with this board. Stock coolers are usually ok.

I had the same question, so thanks to all for the replies.

MSI Neo2 Platinum! I have an a64 s939 90nm 3000+ oced from 1.8ghz to ~2.55ghz prime95 stable! 283HTT * 9

Plus the DDR Booster is compatible with that mobo if you ever get into the OCZ VX or Twinmos memory based on the new Winbound chips.
