    Hi the problem i would like some opinions on is this. I have been thinking about replacing my Albatron KX18D pro2 mainboard and Athlon XP3200+ CPU with a S939 board and chip. But i am not yet willing to retire my GeForce6800GT. Is it worth buying a S939 board with AGP. Thanks in advance for any advice

    try to find one with both or i would recommend you if you cant find one with both buy one with a pci/e but if you have a agp graphics card already and dont want to buy a new one and cnt find one with both agp/pci express go for the agp one but think about these points before you get it and no i wouldnt give pu a 6800gt cause it is one of the best agp cards out there

    the only board that i have seen with both slots is an asrock and havev't found much detail on it. What i would like to know is if there is much more 3D performance to be gained from the 6800GT over what i get now. I get a 3D mark 2003 of about 11500

    the Asrock 939 Dual-SATA2 motherboard does it as far as I'm aware.
