Hello All...

I have a quick question regarding MoBo compatibility with video cards. There is a very good deal right now on an AMD chip with a decent motherboard for boxing day:

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=21662&vpn=ADA3700/NF44&manufacture=AMD&promoid=1022

I have a Radeon 9800 128mb AGP card, and I don't have the money to buy a new PCI-E card. Can this motherboard support my card? I do plan on buying a PCI-E card eventually, but in the meantime, I'm looking for a new motherboard which can support both if possible, so that I can use my AGP one now, and then upgrade to PCI-E in the future.

Any recommendations?

My computers specs:

AMD Athlon 2000+
Crappy Motherboard (I don't even remember the brand, it's that bad)
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb AGP
1GB DDR Ram
WinXP Pro.

The motherboard in your link doesn't have AGP, it's got three PCIe x16 slots.
