Can anyone reccommend a solid AGP Athlon 64 motherboard? I'd like it if it has 2 ethernet ports as well and onboard audio is a huge plus too. Otherwise I have to buy a soundcard and a switch....

Also, I plan to overclock my Athlon 64 as much as possible, and don't want to be limited by the motherboard.

I'm on a budget so I had to go with AGP and most of the boards I looked at seemed fairly cheap.

Thanks!

EDIT: While I have a post here, can anyone reccommend a PCIe board as well? just ion case I can get a hold of a cheap PCIe videocard ^_^

Look into DFI boards they have been known to be the best for overclocking from what I have heard.

Socket 754 or 939? My Epox 9NDA3+ has been solid, but doesn't have the dual LAN and I haven't used the onboard sound, so I can't comment on its quality.

I'm getting a socket 939 Athlon 3000+. After thinking about it and listening to what everyone has been telling me, Im\'m starting to leran towards a complete upgrade and upgrading my graphics card to a PCIe Geforce 6800 GT. So thoughts on a PCIe mobo would be much appreciated, and although this isn't the forum for it, thoughts on the best sub$300 videocard would be much appreciated as well.

Thanks again!

For the video card, either an X800XL or 6800GT would make sense. Epox's nForce4 Ultra board has been getting very good reviews.
