No AGP - Intel claim they can't be mixed with PCI Express, but either VIA or Sis went an did it anyway.

The board has one large Graphics card slot, 3 small PCI-X slotes (have you EVER seen anything for them?) and 3 standard PCI slots - now I though the idea was that they were working on something backward compatible, but it sure doesn't look like it!

DDR2 - more expensive, and available in speeds that are not recognised standards for DDR - not a great advantage though.

You CAN find, apparently, boards with both AGP and PCI-express, but they will not have an Intel chipset.

I'm biased towards an AMD 64, actually - a great CPU for 32 bit mode, and future expansion to 64 bit use, whil not being much more expensive (for the basic socket754 models) than the top of the range socket A solutions.
