a friend of mine asked me to recommend a a64 motherboard for a 3200+ A64 winchester chip, and after doing some research I'm leaning to recommend the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard. Is this a good choice or is there another a64 motherboard thats better? My friend only wants an AGP motherboard, so no nforce 4s. A guy on newegg said that the bios that came with teh Neo2 Platinum original bios didnt support the winchester 90nm cpus, is this true? Will this be a major problem?

Also are there any boards that offer both AGP and PCI express 16X slots, because he'd be interested in that also.
