nf4 agp board?

[tomplatz]

I want to upgrade my processor and mobo but prefereably not my vidcard. Any good nforce4 939 boards with AGP out there? Also need RAID-capable SATA; don't care about overclocking.

Thanks in advance guys.

nope. just via, uli and nf3 chipsets. with the nf3 250gb, all you are giving up is dual channel ram. but these are getting pretty hard to find.

you don't give that up with nF3.
What you do give up is locks on the SATA 1 & 2 ports off the chipset though but as overclocking iosn't a requirement for OP that's not a problem. Also afaik nF3 doesn't support SATA300.

ya i need to find a board that supports agp also. Building a rig for my dad and im just got gonna plop in an agp card in his card

best agp boards are prob the nf3's. very few were made in socket 939. the epox 9nda3 series and the ecs nf3-939a come to mind. these are a couple years old and prob hard to get. the asrock 939 dual sata2 prob your best bet, uli chipset, around $65.

nope. nF3.

Asrock boards are not bad if you're not overclocking. Fast and stable for me with a fair amount of features. I would know

much better to get a new gfx card too... agp cards are way more expensive than their pcie equalent

Try the Gigabyte k8nsc 939. About 69 bux nf3 250 very stable board, but no raid. I would not touch no asrock thats for sure.

Biostar makes one with AGP (XGP) and PCI-E

note: the "XGP" slot is not compatable with all AGP cards though.

Its not worth it to keep your agp card, agp is dead and gone. Stop being stubburn and move to pci-e.
