I was planning to upgrade my computer motherboard because im gonna buy a videocard
I was thinking why not get a new mobo that supports pci express
my chip is a 3.0 ghz but my mobo doesn't have pci express slot

so I started to look around for a motherboard that supports 478 chip and has pci express and I dont see any I looked on asus website their best mobo for socket 478 still uses agp so i tried googling to see if i see any and i haven't see any yet can you guys tell me of a motherboard that has pci express and supports socket 478 or is theres a way to putting my old socket 478 into these new socket ones mobos
