Is this a good motherboard? I want a motherboard that is fairly
future-proof and I can upgrade and will last me perhaps 2 - 3 years... so
any ppl think this one sounds ok?
Also, I will get AMD Athalon 64 3000+ ... again is this a failry ok chip?
I dont use heavily intesive apps. but these specs seem to be entry level.

Will my current nVidia G Force 4 64mb DDR graphics card work on this
motherboard? The graphics card says it requires 2x / 4x AGP, but I know
themotherbaord is AGP 8x... is 8x downward compatible or not?

Thanks!!!!!!
