I have a few blown/flaky motherboards of the variety that have AGP
slots and used DDR ram.

I'm finding it very difficult to find motherboards of this type, so I
am looking at the unhappy prospect of having to swap out the board, the
ram , and the video. (at a substantially increased cost).

I'm worried if anyone else has run into this issue, and if they've
had better luck finding a source than I had.

Thanks for any ideas
Jim

I searched for a while, but ended up replacing the motherboard and
ram, with a new board that has a built in video. That went for $125 from
mwave, which isn't really that much more than replacing the old
board, and it extends the life of the machine, because of the newer tech
used. I do waste a very nice video card, but it won't be used by a
designer anyway, so it's probably not needed.
