If I read you right, you are looking for a socket 939 board with AGP-Pro for
the video? Good luck. All the newer 939 boards I have seen come with
PCIexpress 16 for the video (single or SLI). ATI does sell an AIW for the
PCIexpress x16, so you might want to look into that.
I have had good luck with a Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-9 (non-SLI version with
2-SATA 150 and 4-SATA 300 sockets) and AMD San Diego 3700+ chip (purchased
before the dual cores were introduced). Memory seems pretty cheap. I could
get 2 G for what I paid for 1 gig about 2 years ago. With the top tier
motherboards, it comes down to a matter of bells and whistles available and
personal bias. You probably wouldn't go wrong with any of the top tier that
match your needs. But, of course, YMMV and this is just my opinion.
On a side note, I found my cpu overheated with the stock HSF unit from AMD.
I upgraded to a Thermaltake Big Typhoon with great results.
