    Good luck! Why do you need an AGP port?

    The only solution may be an SiS board, if they're available at all.

    But really, you're far better off in the long term by getting a PCI-E board and a cheap gfx now (X1300/X1650/7600), and then upgrading in the future.

    Asrock do THIS board which supports C2D chips and has both PCI-E and AGP slots.

    You might have to hunt around to find one though.

    Yup Asrock have another board as well which supports Core 2 & AGP the 775I65G which Dabs also sell for €47 it uses a modified Intel 865 chipset.

    Is it worth the upgrade well it depends if you are getting the CPU for it's processing power outside of gaming then yeah it makes sense as you limit the amount of hardware you need to change, but if this is for gaming you are better off waiting till you have saved up enough to make the transition to PCI-Express if you currently have an older generation GPU.

    People, please it PCI-E. E for Express. PCI-X is a server standard that it's highly unlikely anyone here would want...
