My PC just died recently and I really don't have much money to rebuild it. Both my Athon XP 2500 and my m-ATX motherboard are dead. My All-In-Wonder 9600XT and sound card works though. My power supply is still working.

I think I want to up grade to Athlon 64 3000+ socket 939 because I might want to upgrade later to the X2 duo core. I'm trying to looking for a m-ATX motherboard to fit inside my Aria, but I need one that can take AGP so that I can reuse me AIW Radeon to record tv shows. I can find a few m-atx motherboards for socket 754, but they don't make dual cores for that, right?

I would like to keep this upgrade at around $200 give or take $20. I think the 3200+ is about $115, so that leaves about $85 for the motherboard.


Any suggestions?
