DON'T get a combo AGP/pci-e board, as the AGP socket is likely to be emulated on a pci or pci-e bus (reduced speed and/or compatibility) and the pci-e socket is likely to be only x8 connected (also reduced speed and/or compatibility), not to mention that these combo boards are hideously expensive. They're not worth it!

well, I'm not biulding a new PC, so I'll stick to AGP since I don't have a lot of money, and I cant aford the lated "supreme" VGA cards...
and thanks a lot for the advice on the combo boards! I was gonna look for one, but it seems that I was gonna get kind'a screwed (sorry for the expression)...thanks again
