Someone needs to review this AGP/PCI-E capable nForce4 Ultra board.

According to this, you can use compatible AGP cards on this nForce4 Ultra board and then latter upgrade to PCI-E cards as both slots are present and supported.

May help those that want socket 939 and PCI-E goodness without giving up their recent AGP 6800 purchase.

Good concept, but the page says that it only supports a limited number of specific cards for the AGP slot.

i would venture a guess that the AGP slot runs off of the PCI bus. That equals crappy performance.

Looks like it is doing the same thing as the MSI board, except with the Ultra chipset, so you get SATAII, Firewall, etc. Here is a review showing how slow the AGP over PCI really is:

But it is a good upgrade path if you can't afford a PCI-E graphics card right now, but want the added performance outside of the graphics.
