Mobo recommendations for Pentium D 805

[Tomblvd]

I want to overclock a Pentium D 805. I need recommendations for any mobo that has AGP and will work with my current old PATA hard drives as well as my old optical drives.

It seems I can't find a decent board that works with the 805 and will let me use my old hardware.

The problem is going to find a board that overclocks well and has AGP. For a dual core P4 I don't know of any. AFAIK the good overclocking boards all use 955 or 975 chipsets which are pcie only.

If I were willing to upgrade to pci-e video card, would the ASUS allow me to use the rest of my old hardware (HDs, DVDDrives, etc)?

Don't bother with the 805.... get a 930 for an extra $60 and then pick up an Asus P5P800 SE

Sorry, I already have the 805 (rolled an old lady for it) so I'm kinda stuck.

Next time roll a rich old lady, you might get a better processor.

Like an AMD. 😛

All the rich old ladies in my neighborhood carry guns.

Say, is ANYONE going to answer my question?

Asus P5VD1-X
Asus P5P800 VM
Asus P5P800 SE

All these support PD805 and AGP, I think they all have 2 ide ports. The P5VD1-X has both AGP and PCI-E.

I vote for the P5P800 SE.

I vote for the P5P800 SE.

The 805 runs hot when overclocked but it's otherwise a great CPU. Enjoy!

Thanks one and all for the helpful replies.

It is VERY much appreciated.

The P5P800 SE is exactly what I'm looking for (I just can't figure out how I missed it, considering the amout of time I spent the last few days on Newegg and ASUS websites). Sheesh.
