But do you think i will have to reinstall windows again? because i dont have a windows OS disc only a recovery software, that makes a backup DVD.

But anyway this motherboard seems exactly the same, do i really have to reinstall windows.

The motherboard is the same manufacturer, same form (mATX) , same socket except one is a pci-e and one is an agp 8x.

My 2 cents..

I think the all around best AGP card will always be the ATI 9800pro All in Wonder. As well it does everything

Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100171L Radeon X1950PRO 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X HDCP Video Card -
Retail Will play most newer games and get some good FPS

Pros: Runs FEAR, OBLIVION, Far Cry, and any shader model 3 game there is at max quality. My max frames for fear is 186, and I am pretty sure thats cpu limited because the max frame rate is 186 fore every resolution.

Cons: Big card for a micro atx case? cannot really find anything bad about it yet..
All-in-Wonder® 9800 PRO

Cant seem to find the 256 meg version? With the 256 bit

The 9800 pro all in wonder runs around 130 now.. But you can record tv just about anything you can think of it will do plus play games..

eBay: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro All-in-wonder AIW Better Cooler ! (item 160115098821 end time May-15-07 17:34:59 PDT)

All video cards come with an adapter for VGA (blue) to DVI (white)...so no problems there
