Need expert motherboard advice, stat!

[Dorkenstein]

I am sick and tired of dealing with the shortcomings of my Asus K8N-E. I need a better motherboard, I am especially looking for ease of use, stability, and speed. I was looking at the ECS Nforce4 board that has pci-express since it looks terriffic. But the problem is, I not too long ago got my ATI Radeon X850-XTPE AGP card. So I need a motherboard thats as awesome as the ECS one but with AGP. However, if you think I am better served with PCI-Express then please recommend a card that will outdo my current one without breaking my bank. Bear in mind that I need to stay on socket 754 for this year as I can't afford to go higher. Thanks so much for your help.
