Looking for a good, solid, reliable mobo that suports these features. Any ideas who makes a mobo like this?

There really arent any motherboard with both. Really need to pick one or the other. I believe there is one that has an AGP slot and PCIe slot, but that AGP slot runs off the regular PCI bus and suffers about a 40% performance penalty.

Indeed. I doubt they'll be making anymore AGP mobos after the NF3 and the K8T800.

Hmmm. How about a mobo that runs just a Prescott chip then and not a Northwood? Would you even reccomend something like this? A board that runs both 8x AGP and PCI-e x16?

What and how much performance gain does one really get from 8x AGP vs. PCI-e x16 anyway? Would one really be able to tell the difference between the two?
