Help please : Which Board ?

Please can anyone recommend an ASUS motherboard for me. It must be
compatable with an AMD 2100XP CPU and ABIT Siluro MX400 AGP 4X ... Which I
think is 3.3v not 1.5v.

The PC will be used more in the the line of Photoshop and Finale Notation
rather than gaming.

Thanks for any Help

Steve

To do AGP 4X, a card has to have 1.5V as an option. Your card could
have two slots cut in it, like cases (d), (e), and (f) in the figures
at the bottom of this page:

That should open up more boards as an option for you.

Thanks for the reply Paul,

My card is one of the universal AGP type. However does this mean it will
operate at both 3.3v and 1.5v?
