Hi to all:
I was very happy when I found this great resouce.
I am in the process of building my first PC. I have a plethora of questions. Mostly around motherboard selection. First I will describe my needs. I am not a gamer. I am looking to build a computer that will not be obsolete in the near future. I want the ability to upgrade.
I don't know whether I should get an MB which supports AGP or PCI Express. Should I go for the PCI Express because it is later technology, or the AGP because it is proven technology? I am also concerned that if I go for the AGP option, video cards will not be available in the future if I need a replacement.
I would greatly appreciate suggestions on motherboards.

Thanks in advance:

Daniel
