Check ASUS's website, I think they have come out with a few more BIOS's for boards supporting the Pentium M. Other than that you are looking in the $200 range for some 855 boards....not worth it if you ask me

yeah, but i dont think any of those boards have pci-e.... what i'm trying to do is sell my bfg 6800gt oc for a pci-e card... if i get a pci-e card, i'll need a pci-e board.

the reason why i dont get a regular agp board is because once i need to upgrade, i'd end up having to buy a new mobo and gpu... by that time, the value of the gpu and mobo will have diminished.

Aopen is the only one so far but i would be willing to bet that DFI will folow suit soon, Rich if you get a chance email them and see if they have any plans on a 915 pentium m mobo like Aopen.

@audiophile What mobo did you get in the end? I don't see a particular need to upgrade the 6800 as yet... Myself, I'm playnig HL2 and Far Cry at full details with 1280x1024 res and have no slowdowns on a GF6600GT (AGP). I also have a P-M760 in a P4C800-E. With the latest beta BIOS it's running very fast and of course quietly!
