Can anyone recommend a good performing stable board for a XP2000+ CPU. Something with probably KT333 or KT400 chipset. I am looking for these features:

USB 2.0
ATA133
AGP8X
possibly Lan on board.

Another question: what is the difference between AGP Pro and AGP 8X?
something that won't break the bank would be nice.

Thanks for all the help!

take the asus nforce 2 mobo A7N8X it hes usb 2 ie 1394 2 lan ports audio sata raid AGP 8x....

and performs better than KT333 or KT400

But agp 8x doesnt really matter not much performance boost s far due to 8X

I believe that AGP Pro is a longer slot for workstation graphics. It has a few extra pins in it. You can use normal AGP cards in an AGP Pro slot.
