Skt939 w/ AGP

have any of you used this board with other graphics cards that it does not list. this seems like a good idea for people with good agp cards that don't want to drop the $$$ for a pci-e card but still have all the benefits of nf4ultra and skt939.

what do you think? are there any other boards like this that have nf4 with pci-e 16 and agp?
 
I hardly see any current generation video cards in there. I think a lot of the people who would be interested in buying that are like me, who have a good video card (6800GT) and would like to keep it, but still upgrade their processor/motherboard.
 
Don't buy it. The AGP is on the PCI bus, which will make your performance very poor. Pick up a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
 
I also saw advertised a converter that can take an AGP card and make it compatib;e with PCI-e. I think it was in one of the recent anad articles. It had a few issues (mainly clearance) but it looked interesting.

i coudn't find a price, any idea on how much?

I'm not sure that you can actually buy one yet, but I'm very interested in buying one too (even if it does require a bit of ghetto-rigging to work with a full-size AGP card😛)
