Ok u can get a mobo of company Mora from or any other mobo of Intel 915 chipset because this chipset mobo contains a pciEx16 slot for new graphic cards if u don't want to upgrade. Do u have a agp graphic card then it will be difficult to find such a mobo with agp slot. If u got some money like 4 to 5k then sell your old cpu and buy a new one with 775socket Intel pentium4 D cpu it will be cheaper then core 2 duo and a mobo with integrated graphics cause it will be cheaper also and got good performance too mine is cel. 2.8 ghz. and Asus P5RD1-VM mobo which has pciex16 slot because agp is older now and pci ex is new.Ok i think it will help u bye.
