Yup. He has an Asrock AM2NF3-VSTA. It has an AGP slot.

Asrock has made some very interesting boards. Even had one that had AGP and PCI-E on the same board, and another that had a provision for upgrading it from 939 to AM2, or maybe it was 754 to 939.

Lots of 'enthusiests' like to look at the ASROCK boards as low end/mainstream, and think that they are beneath their notice, but I've been very happy with my current one. It's rock solid, and I have OCed my 4800+ to just an eyelash under 3Ghz by increasing the FSB only. I'm sure that I could break 3Ghz if I played with memory timings and voltages, but I just did it to see if I could, and didn't want to bother with a lot of work. I'm back to stock now.
