Thanks for the replies, some of the boards I've seen over the past week have been specifically server boards and so have no AGP. I'll have a look see over the next weeks and make a decision. Regarding wireless networking, I've got the whole house wired with cat5, sockets in virtually every room, so I'll have no need for wireless. Better get out of this thread before Guitta pops along with her OT stick :) Once again, many thanks.
