motherboards with AGP 8x 1 G video ram support

[romeotdnh]

Are there good Socket A motherboards with AGP support. Or Socket A with PCI Express as an alternative. Am running an ASUS A78n Dewluxe and an EPox 8rda3+. Wondering if there are better boards in the socket A class. Have good peripherals so not looking to a complete system upgrade yet.

F
AM2+
AM3
G34
C32
AM3+ (Bulldozer: releasing later this year)


They haven't manufactured motherboards utilizing that socket for some years now, it's time for a new computer because you can't go anywhere with that. Sorry.

I think that the only place to get a socket A cpu nowadays would be Ebay. Maybe.

Yep Ebay is the place. Just Wondering if anyone knows what the best and latest boards manufactured under socket A were. Was considering a new board with AM2+ but have all the socket A peripherals already you know? Seems costly for complete system upgrade

What socket A peripherals do you have that you can't do without?

Even this $500 complete system will blow away any socket A System:
