How much do you want to spend?  The price range is wide.

Go shopping here: http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/SubCategory.asp?SubCategory=280&name=Intel-compatible-Motherboards

Read the specifications to be sure the motherboard is compatible with the processor you have or are getting and has an AGP slot.  And, read through the reviews.

Here's an inexpensive board with AGP: BIOSTAR
BIOSTAR P4M80-M4 Socket 478 VIA P4M800 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail  (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813138262)

I'm a bit partial, but I have had lots of good luck with Gigabyte (http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Default.aspx) motherboards.

Its not a good idea to buy AGP, or for that matter Socket 775 that dosent support 1066 FSB.

It sounds like the original poster only needs a motherboard, though, not a new CPU, graphics card, etc.

Maybe he will come back and give us another tidbit of information, if he wants help.  ::)

I have the budget to buy the Pentium D processor, mobo possibly DDR2 Ram. Because most of the new motherboards do not support DDR-1,  i want to run games so i can change these things but the graphics card would cost me a lot more then my budget.
