I'd like to upgrade my Dual Processor Motherboard to one with AGP

[zjbooks]

I'm not very informed in the current hardware products - but I'm perfectly capable of dismantling and rebuilding a PC (A+).

Anyhow to cut to the gist, I got a Gateway 6400 Server from a company's going out of business sale for less than $200 dollars. The problem is that this computer was not built for playing games (obviously) and I'd like to put in a new motherboard that has an AGP slot (this one doesn't).

It does have 2 P3-933's and I'd like to keep them - and pretty much everything else seems ok.

What are my options? I want a relatively cheap motherboard that's decent (it doesn't have to be overclockable or anything). I would like to put a GeForce 2 that I already own in there.

So basically I'd like a cheap motherboard with an AGP slot and can take 2 Pentium 3 933mhz socket 370's.

Anyone have any suggestions?

You'll certainly get some replies here, but you may also want to consider 2-CPU as a resource for multi-processor related questions.

Personally, I would be looking for a PCI video card to satisfy your needs. I hear that ATI is going to produce a MAC (so it will be PCI) version of selected Radeon 8500 cards and maybe an AIW version. If they do this, it should also (eventually) be available for the PC. The Voodoo 5 line would also be worth considering. I 'hear' that Windows XP supports them very well. I am not aware of any nvidea based PCI graphics cards. I would almost bet money that good ones exist, I just don't know of them, personally.

edit: I actually read your message this time ... you have the GeForce card and you only need a motherboard to support the components that you already have. Sorry, you were clear, I just overlooked this part of your post.

If you want a cheap dually board get a ECS D6VAA. It sells for about $50(non RAID version)and it one of the better socket 370 dually boards. Here's a link to a review.
