Alright, after a bad experience with a fried mobo/proc, it's time to upgrade.

Currently I have:

a stick of 512 (PC2700) RAM
A Geforce 6800 AGP
400w PSU... and all of the drives, etc.

Basically, I need a new proc and mobo that will allow me to use my old stuff.

I was thinking about going with a : ASUS K8N-E Socket 754 nForce3

But I was wondering, is there such as thing as a socket 939 that has both an AGP/PCI express slot? And that my RAM will work with (Pretty sure there isn't a problem here).

Going along with that, AMD Sempron 64 3400+


Now, if there is a socket 939 that would allow me to keep my video card, I would much prefer that. And how does the processor choice look? Would I be better off with an Athlon XP? Or a Clawhammer?


Sorry for the disjoined post, if it's overly unclear I'll try and clean it up. At any rate, I would really appriciate any advice.
 
yeah, those boards exist, but I'd stay away from them. The one or two that I've seen were crappy, crappy brands. You should probably go with pci-e, but if you have a solid AGP card like you do, then maybe a gigabyte?
