Do any companies make a S-478 mobo with PCI-e

Do any companies make a S-478 mobo with PCI-e, scince it is increasingly harder to find good agp cards to update to so looking for a mobo with pci-e. Or do they even make boards for Socket 478 p4 with pci-e

As you said video card, I assume you mean PCI-E, not X.

There is this, but I'm sure there is something cheaper.

That MSI board is meant for the Core Duo/Solo mobile chips, not for desktop P4. There are a couple of boards for desktop P4 socket 478 with PCI-E, but AFAIK none were marketed in the USA. I recall one person here at AT who imported one (as in paid $50 shipping) to have one shipped from somewhere in Asia.

AsRock and Biostar both had at least one crossover MB with s478 (not 468) for the Northwood P4, and PCI-e(16) video, but those were never seen in quantity, and finding one today is likely to be very difficult.

If you are stuck with a socket 478 board, now is the time to upgrade.
