Any motherboard for Duo Core 2 that supports AGP

[UncleWai]

I have a 9600xt and really don't want to buy a new video card. Wondering if there are any motherboards that support duo core 2 (want to buy e6300) and can still support agp slot?

 

[stevf]

there is an asrock board that has agp - they even have a review of it under motherboards

I would honestly rather a PCI-E board with integrated graphics than a 9600 card. More future proof, and it's not like the 9600 can run new games anyway.

There's 14 VIA Socket 775 chipset boards with AGP slots listed on Newegg:

One Intel chipset board:
ASUS P5PE-VM LGA 775 Intel 865G Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131029
The onboard graphics on this board:
ECS P4M800PRO-M (V2.0)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813135027
is about twice as fast as a Radeon 9600 (non-XT) card.

If you're lookin for an AGP now, PCI-E later board, go for the AsRock 775Dual-VSTA that stevf mentioned.

$56 - ASRock 775Dual-VSTA Socket T (LGA 775) VIA PT880 PRO

Summary: The board is a good, budget stopgap solution for people who want to get more life out of their DDR and AGP stuff. DDR400 is still fine for today's applications, and only high end graphics cards will be affected by the 4x speed of the 16x sized pci-e slot, but not by much (only 10% performance hit).

Huh?? There's no way that any flavor of UniChrome Pro is faster than Radeon 9600, not even faster than Mobility Radeon 9600. PC Pitstop is replete with coding problems that causes poor performance on many graphic cards and/or other subsystems.

We've seen this several times on MSI Forums where someone is asking why their GF 6600GT or X1600 or the like scores lower in PC Pitstop graphic/video tests than some ridiculously old and slow GPU they upgraded from (e.g. UniChrome). Answer: because PC Pitstop sucks.
