Currently my system consist of orignal i845 GVSR mobo with a Intel PGA 468 socket 2.8 processor ,256MB of RAM,40 gb PATA HDD with on board graphics but in today's context I am not able to cop up with new softwares and planning to change my mobo (i know this will only cause a little of performance increase but will be buying a brand new dual core machine after 6 months).Dear frnds plz suggest me a mobo with keeping following features in mind
1.Support's Intel PGA 468 socket 2.8 processor.
2.AGP 8x slot
3.SATA
4.Firewire(optional)
5.Onboard Graphics and LAN

john3 did you even read what he posted?

i don't see why you want to upgrade your current motherboard, does it not have an AGP 4x/8x slot?

ya dude i845 GVSR simply lacks AGP slots and my graphics needs upgrade!

Wait, so your mobo doesn't have an AGP slot at all?
