What motherboard works?

[slipknotjake]

Hey, im getting really into computers now and I was wondering what motherboard would work with this setup:

cpu: amd athlon64+3800 socket939
videocard: ati radeon x800 pro

i cant seem to find a socket 939 mobo that works with an agp slot type video card, help!

 

[slipknotjake]

which would be better for gaming? like battlefield 2

as far as performance goes, you won't notice a difference.

I'd probabbly say the Gigabyte board will be a better quality board, plus it has gigabit LAN.
the gigabyte board has a memory divider, I'm not sure if the Epox board does

the memory divider is useful if you are overclocking

im probably not gonna overclock, but thanks for the help man!

why not? it's a free performance increase...

people say overclocking is dangerous, but it really isn't. only if you do do something ridiculous (like overclock without a heatsink)

 

[slipknotjake]

how much does it effect the speed?

I have my X2 4800 up to 2.82GHz from stock 2.4GHz

Why go with an AGP Graphics card? Go PCI-E if you can.
