What mother board should i buy?
I want a mother board that is :
*Core 2 duo compatible
*Has four channels for ram
*At least one AGP slot, but will allow me to put in another SLI capable card.
Pls help, cuz im a noob in need! :)
As far as i know the motherboard below is likely to be the only conroe / agp motherboard available.

Cheers man your a legend!!!!
LOL been called alot of things don't think i have been called a legend before, but your welcome. :D
It has four ram slots, but two are for DDR and the other two are for DDR2, they cannot be used together.
Also, the pci-e is actually 4x instead of 16x, due to its via chipset.

Indeed, that was the main reason I was put off buying it. I don't understand why they've done that, I bought an ASRock Dual-SATA2 939 board at the end of 2005 and it's a great hybrid board, it even has 16xPCI-e.
