Is the processor based on the AM2 socket type or socket 939? Either way most AGP is basically obsolete now so I would not reccomend purchasing a board with the agp bus on it. If you REALLY like that card I know there were a couple motherboards which were made that have bothe agp and PCI express slots on them If your short on cash and just want to get the system running you could get a Asus M2A-VM ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131172 )which supports pci express and has a decent onboard graphics to get you by until you have the money to upgrade.
