I recently decided to sell my presario and build my own dang computer. I pretty much know what all to buy, except for the motherboard. I think I have decided I want an AMD Athlon 1.33GHZ (AMD760-DDR)as my processor. I already have my video card. I got the ATI Radeon VE. 32MB DDR but it is AGP so I can't put it in this compaq I have. I need a motherboard that has AGP slots instead of being integrated. I will be doing allot of graphic design on this computer as well as gaming. I think I found the case I want on this site. http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1138&p=2
Will the motherboard I need fit into this case? The case and motherboard are the only things I'm not sure about and I've decided to get the best board I can, money being no object. I just need to know what I need. Someone help me please! My icq is 56569423. I appreciate any advice. Oh and also if anyone wants to buy my compaq. ;)

The size of the case should be fine for most boards. make sure you get atleast a 300W power supply in it. You may want to check out some of the other threads about the DDR mainboards. If money is no issue you may want to go all out with a DDR board with onboard SCSI. Check out the other threads for the MSI K7 MASTER and ASUS A7M266, A7A266 and others.
