I'm looking to upgrade my system. I am looking for a good over clocking momo that has agp & pcie. You can see in my sig. what I am running, I'm looking for something that will out perform that.

hometoast

I can't think of any that use both. AGP's a dead end and not worth the money. You'd be better off going PCI-E and getting a low-end pci card until you can upgrade (8800GT hoorah)

If you want specific recommendations, it matters if you want to go SLI or not later.

For Intel any p35 board is great for OC for single GPU setups.
And the evga 680i offerings are good for SLI and OC-ability.

For AMD, that's for someone else to answer.

Yea, not much out there in the form of AGP anymore, time to let it go.

I would go with what hometoast said.

If you get anything like that combo asus you can throw oc'ing out the window.

hometoast

spuddgunn had no idea they made such a thing.

I -believe- this is the proper one. There's an AsRock board that has both AGP and PCI-E although the PCI-E slot is crippled to x8 or even x4 if I recall correctly. Of course it's a LGA775 board and not compatible with your current processor.

As rx7racer said, you can pretty much forget overclocking on a combo board. Also it's buyer beware with AsRock boards. I've had nothing but trouble on the one that I've owned.

Also I don't believe that the AM2 board posted earlier in this thread has both interfaces according to the specs listed.

Yeah, quite cheap as well. Was considering one myself a long time ago

LOL I have the Asrock in my sig rig, I was in a similar situation as you, and
spent a quick 120 bucks got a E2160 and this board loaded all my DDR /AGP/ old
goodness into it and have no problems at all

Its not a great overclocker by todays standards at all , but it will take a 2160 to 2.8g and a 2180 to 3g if you got the E4600 12X multi you can max it on this thing with DDR and keep those tight cas 2 timings.

I play Cyrsis on it in 1080p with no problems so don't beleive what people say about it
being junk , it uses one of the best onboard sound chips available also and you can run
both pci-e and agp at the same time , if you want ddr2 one day go get it!!! its THE most
flexable board EVER made and its very high quality for what it is.
Alot of people don't really know how to tweak and therfore can't respect a great board that they have to work on to get great overclocks.

I got this as my testing board for all the 775 machines
I've been fixing and will be fixing! It takes EVERY 533/800/1066 775 chip out there and quads.
Open box deal @newegg will get you setup w/e2180 for about 145 total
and if you need any help with it I am your man, I seem to be able to get some of the highest
FSB on this board and beleive me there are a TON of post about everywhere , I took it
as a challenge ,and I think I came out on top

That's what I thought, I really don't want to get a cheap board. I guess I'll part with my current system and start over. I'm tired of not being able to upgrade. Now the question is where do I start? What is a good cpu and mobo combo for about 200.00

D.J.S.

You can get the asrock openbox & e4600 for 2 bills this will get you a 3.2 OC
@300 fsb while using your ddr / agp and other stuff.The stock cooler is good
enough also.

Asrock is ASUS so how cheap can it be.
