If you are planning to upgrade to AMD Athlon 64 939, I suggest you get the Abit AX8-3rd Eye, AX8, or AX8-V, which ever is in your budget. The AX8-V is the lowest priced and the AX8-3rd Eye is the highest priced. I believe the AX8-V comes around $99 and the AX8-3rd Eye goes for $145. There is no point in staying AGP; PCIe will take over. If you get AGP right now, then you will be stuck with a dieing platform and will eventually have to conduct an overhaul which will cost you more money in the long run. To answer your actual question, I'm not familiar and or so keen about Soltek. My two favorite brands are Abit or DFI when it comes to Intel or AMD.
