Heyup, just want a lil help while im thinking about it.

Heres the main specs first:-

Gigabyte GA-7NNXP Mobo
AthlonXP Barton 3200+
Generic 1GB DDR-400 Ram (Buying more soon!)
Maxtor 160GB SATA HD
Powercolor ATI x800 Pro 256MB Graphics

Hopefully in the near future i wanna be moving on to a 64 bit CPU (3800 Athlon or above :drool: ).
My main problem is my graphics card, I paid £300 for it late last year so I wanna keep it. Although what ive seen with the new GeForce 7 has given me a stiffy so to speak, my x800 has been more than outstanding for every game ive thrown at it, i may try to clock it soon too!
So what motherboards can you recommend with skt 954 and all the new fancy gubbins while keeping the ol' 8x AGP.

After looking at this price
