New concern, AGP vid card

[kilcan]

I'm currently putting together parts for my own new rig, but at the same time, I am going to be upgrading my mom's for her. She doesn't do much on hers but she likes it to run fast,etc. So I said, well, what the heck, I'll give her the same processor and mobo as me. Today I was reviewing the mobo specs again and I am having a sneaking suspicion, I wont be able to stick her old Vid card in there. I am going with the Biostar TForce 965PT, and she has a GeForce FX 5900 vid card. She doesnt want or need to upgrade it (actually, it IS an upgrade, the 5900 is my old card I am giving her to replace her seriously pos), so am I stuck trying to find a different mobo with an AGP hookup? Any advice is appreciated, the processor will be an e6420.

Oh also, she isn't getting a new HDD - its an IDE. Not gonna work either is it?

Most of the 965P boards have an IDE slot, so you're fine there. Most of them do NOT have an AGP slot, however, so you're in a bit of trouble there. I found exactly one board that'll take a C2D chip and has an AGP slot

Good luck.

Agantbolt is right, that mobo will work exelent

And no, you will have to format your hard drive and re-install windows. You cant take one hard drive and bring it to another mobo.

Ok now for the second problem on top of those then, lol. I was going to put DDR2 800 RAM into her board - but that one looks like it only supports DDR RAM. I do appreciate the help, just trying to figure out all my options

eta: I know I have to format it - I was worried about the IDE
