Hi
I just ordered a Brisbane X2 3600 AM2 socket ,my question is if there is a mobo who has AGP and PCIe slots if not what u suggest for a budget mobo PCIe that can give some descent overclocking maybe around 2.5 2.6 Ghz ,if u can mention some memery it will go with it will nice its my first AMD budget rig i am trying to build .

Thnank lot for any input
 
Very unlikely you'll find one. AM2 == new socket type. AGP == nearly defunct expansion card standard. It's hard enough just finding motherboards that has AGP at all. ASRock has a few but nothing that I know of that'll support AM2.

Why do you want this? To keep an old video card? Because for <$100 you can find an AM2 socketed motherboard with builtin video that is comparible, if not superior, to most AGP video cards.

EDIT: However you'll have to watch what you get as many motherboards with built-in video tend to be the budget system variety and do not provide very good OCing support.
 
You can get the cheapest RAM from newegg (DDR2 667) and then just run a divider with the AM2's. Probably wouldn't notice the difference.

You can probably go with a ASRock Dual SATA2 board used from the forum and then get the AM2CPU adapter board. It will run AM2, OC a little bit, and run AGP.
