Motherboard suggestion please

Upgrading a box for my brother in law. But he wants to keep his video card (AGP).

what would be the best board he could get for his 939 AMD with an AGP slot?

Thanks guys

The Asrock Dual offers both AGP8x and PCIex16 slots, so he can keep that card for now and have the option to upgrade later. It's not even expensive, as far as s939 boards go. Sound good? Here's a link.

What board does he have now? If it is already 939 with AGP, why do you want to replace it?

Go witht he ASrock Dual SATA board. I just recently replaced my Neo2 Platinum with it, and it's the perfect choice. Now when I upgrade my 6800GT to a PCI-e card, I don't have to get a new MB also (which not only saves some money, but several hours or work removing/installing and reformatting).

No his old board is a NF2, socket A. But he just put a X800XT AIW on it a couple months ago and really likes it. So he wants to go to 939 now and keep his AGP card.

Thanks for all the great suggestions so far. Looking at all of them.
