Default AGP 8x MOBO - AMD vs. Intel

I'm looking to upgrade my Pentium 3 1ghz AGP based system. (yeah, I
know pretty old)

Which mobo based CPU would be better to go with Amd or Intel?

I've looked at what AGP 8X based boards that I could find.


AMD AM2/Am2+
---------------
Asrock Alivedual-eSata2
Asrock AM2NF3-VSTA
MSI K9MM-V
MSI K8M800

INTEL LGA 775
---------------
Asrock 775V88+
Asrock 4coredual-sata2
Asrock cor2dual
Foxconn 648X7M

would appreciate any tips on it.

btw, I'm aware of the issue with the AGP standard, so please don't rag
on me about moving on to the PCI-e o PCI-X thing.

This is for my OS/2 machine I already got the BFG Geforce 7300GT AGP
card. I got it when I thought the card was going bad, but it turned to
be the a minor problem with the monitor. A good whack on the Planar
monitor with a check book restored the color and resolution.

I am going to be building a new machine that will be on the PCI-E/PCI-X
platform. Ir ia going to be Windows based and for primarily playing
games. Just don't know what CPU the mobo will be running on. That is
dependent on what cpu is chosen for the OS/2 machine.

what I'd like to have is both Intel & AMD based systems.

That is in addition to the laptop I'm getting rather soon.
