Yesterday, I received my components for my new computer from newegg. On the box for the lanparty mobo, it says that it is for AMD 64 939 socket cpus up to 3700+. I bought a 3800+. Is this mobo not going to work with the 3800+? Also, I bought a x800xt. Is it going to work with the lanparty mobo? I am pretty much a noob. The card is AGP and the mobo is PCI-E. Does this mean they can not work together?

as far as th card working, sorry to say but no it will not work. And dont really know about the CPU.
This is why you always search, ask questions, compare, before you buy.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I did ask if all the items I was going to buy were compatible on here last week. And although people suggested different products, no one said that something I suggested wasn't compatible. At this point, I realize I am going to have to return something, but now I need to decide what. Should I return the mobo because the card is not compatible and the cpu might not be either or should I return the card and get a PCI-E card if I find out the cpu will work with the lanparty? I also have to take into account the 15% restockign charge at newegg. The mobo cost $215 and the card cost $500. So if I was to just return the mobo, what is the best one you would suggest that would work with the x800xt? Thanks.

hmm a hard decision... Honestly dont think there are any Nforce 4 mobos with AGP at the moment, so your best bet is gonna be a Nforce3, would check out the MSI Neo2 platinum, if you return the mobo.
If you return the card and the CPU works, just get a 6800 Gt will be plenty plenty fast. Dunno but i think it might actually be a little quicker than the x800xt (ill search for sum benchmarks) Unless you wanna stick with ATI then by all means do so.
hmm heres the link for the MSI mobo:

Edit well looked at sum benchmarks and the x800xt is about 10-20fps faster in most benchmarks cept for doom 3.

the X800's come in PCI-E, so you could exchange your card for one
The 3800+ will work with a bios flash for sure, I thought all the NF4 DFI's said they supported up to 4200+ or FX-55
But since it says "supports up to 3700+" and 3700+ is alot older than any DFI nforce4 mobo, and SKT 754, im not sure if your board is SKT 939
