Someone help me NOW!

[Razors Edge]

Damn I post a topic here asking for help, you guys stop by here, read it then just go away without helping me. This is what I need.

A motherboard that

-Supports Pentuim D -LGA 775 (socket T)
-Supports 184 Pin DDR
-DDR2
-AGP 4x/8x
-PCI-E x16


Did anyone find a motherboard that does this? I've been searching for 3 hours.

[progbuddy]

well thats specific.

Thats why the world has google. lol.

[Silenced_Coyote]

To have all those on one board is rare to non-existant. This is the closest I have found which you probably already saw in your search.
ASRock 775Dual-VSTA (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813157092)
Only thing off is the PCIe x16. It has a PCIe x4...

[Razors Edge]

Yes I an hour on that mobo alone. I googled it, Google doesn't like me today. I don't like the x4.

- Support Intel® Presler 65nm Dual core and Core™2 Duo CPU
- PCI Express architecture
- DDR2 533/400
- Dual SATA RAID (RAID0, RAID1 & JBOD)
- External SATA on rear
- High Definition Audio

I saw that Asus mobo too but the PCIe runs on in x4 mode too.

I saw other boards close to what you want but they don't support Penium D. So I guess it is either Penitum D support or go with PCIe x4.

[CanaBalistic]

No, it runs at full x16

PCI Express Architecture
PCI Express is the latest I/O interconnect technology that will replace the existing PCI. With a bus bandwidth 4 times higher than that of AGP 8X interface, PCI Express x16 busperforms much better than AGP 8X in applications such as 3D gaming.

[simon275]

Sorry Cana-Balsitic but normally you would be right execpt on boards that run both AGP and PCI-E due to the special chipset required the PCI-E bus can only run at a maximum of 4x.

I have seen reviews and in most games people using a PCI-E card 4x only drop a couple of frames comapred to a board with a 16x PCI-E slot.

[Razors Edge]

So if I buy ANY BOARD that has both AGP and PCIE, the PCIE is only 4x?

ALSO can 4x pcie support the x16 videocards?

[Jarnauga]

ALSO can 4x pcie support the x16 videocards?

I doubt it.

[gobygoby]

if you can find one.....Gigabyte GA-G1975x

They stopped making them about a month ago. No retailers have them anymore. ABout the only place is ebay.

good luck

[vtwo]

they don't make 184 pin DDR2.

Actually it can support it, you just have to lower a setting in the bios for it too run at its best on 4x

[Razors Edge]

So say I was about to get a Motherboard that has a 4x PCIE and an agp, and I bought a radeon x1900 XT. It will run on the x4 slot?

[CanaBalistic]

I dont get why you want a board with PCI-E & AGP... There is probly no way to get it to do SLI. So you could probly only use one slot or the other.

AGP is dead anyway. Look to the future, not the past.

[The Black Pumpkin]

He probably wants to use his current agp card first, then upgrade to pcie later, then get a new motherboard even later.

Not true. The ASRock 939 SATAII Dual has 8xAGP and 16xPCI Express. I bought 2 of those boards.

And it does sli or seprate displays?

[DaveW]

I'm not sure about that, i never tried it. But it works fine. I think you could run 2 graphics cards in it, but only for 2 displays-they wouldn't share processing power like in SLI.
