I don't know how backwards-compatible AGP 8x slots are, but the Intel 865 chipset support both socket 775 and AGP.

I switched to SiS chipsets for the AGP 8x period, and the 661FX is an excellent chipset with good compatability with older cards, if you're not picky about the manufacturer.

Heh. Just built an 800 MHz PIII system from old spareparts. It's surprisingly fast.
I ran a CPU benchmark on it, and it performs like a 800 MHz single-core Core 2 Duo (expected, since they're based on the same design. :-)
