I'm upgrading my motherboard and cpu since I have a little spare cash to mess around with I've pretty much settled on an Athlon 64 3200+ Venice. I currently have a Geforce 6800 so I need a motherboard that has AGP. I'm debating if I should buy the ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 Socket 939 ULi M1695 which has AGP and PCIe or if I should just go straight AGP and not make the sacrafice in speed that the AGP/PCIe comes with. I'll most likely keep this system for a couple years without changing the motherboard/cpu/video card.

tha asrock don't look like a bad idea. and it has a pci-e. i wouldn't spend big $$$ on a agp MB. but a referbed a8v-deluxe kt800pro has served well .
if you get a (referbed) agp mb now you can allways get a pci-e later. the ecs a939snf4's seem to be pretty good and at times there under $60 .
so there are lots of inexpensive options for going agp , pci-e or agp&pci-e . smart money would just get what is needed for today and migrate to pci-e when you want to--LOL
