I've lookes on ebay for all sorts of motherboards etc. I still cannot find what i'm looking for...I'm not to picky on the brand, though prefer msi, asus, asrock, abit, ecs...I want one that supports 4-5 pci slots, and 1 agp, I don't want that new Pci-E slot, because the cards for that are overpriced I think, because there newer. I wan't this motherboard to be able to support something like 1.8Ghz. or 2.66Ghz. of either Intel P4 or AMD?

get a pciX ... if u get a highend agp card its going to be more expensive than a medium power pcix card that costs less and outperforms it .... and the older boards and processors are getting scarce anyway ... its going to be cheaper to put together a modern box with modest components trust me ...

I just bought a motherboard for my daughter - it's an ABIT 4,2,1 .
4+ pci slots are harder to find because of the built in video, audio, and network. I bought hers at Tigerdirect.com but have seen the same MOBO elsewhere. Tiger is a good place to learn.

Overpriced PCI E Your shopping at all the wrong places buddy. Check out www.mwave.com they carry tons of motherboards with AGP and PCI-E

First of all, I believe the PCI-E slot is backward-compatible
