Is there a board which supports Intel 65nm and AGP?

Are there any of these out there?
I plan to get one of those 65nm 3.33 GHz Celerons with 512KB L2 and try my luck for 5.0 GHz. :) It's just that I don't want to buy a new video card all over again. Yes, I'll need to replace my memory, but I want to keep the 3 PCI cards I'm using now.

This brings back memories of 2000 when I was looking to get a Celeron 566 and push it to 850, while wanting a board with 2 ISA slots. :)

Hrm, my last experience with a VIA chipset left a bad taste in my mouth.
I used an AOpen AX63 Pro motherboard with the Celeron 566 as mentioned above; this board had a VIA Apollo Pro 133 chipset (VT82C693A/VT82C596B), and I had several serious problems with it:
- Hard locking 2-3 times a day (regardless of OS)
- Crackling sound from my Sound Blaster 128 PCI
- Occasional single bit errors when transferring files

To try to solve the hard-locking problem I tried replacing pretty much everything: PSU, RAM, video card, hard drives and sound cards - nothing seemed to work. It even locked when running at default speed!
There is a computer lab at the university running boards with the 693A chipset and they hard lock on us too!

But if it's stable enough and overclocks well I might give it a go.
