Graphics on a new mobo

I just bought a decent AGP graphics card.

I want to upgrade my motherboard/CPU next but most these days ship with PCI-E. Are there motherboards about with both AGP and PCI-E? So when I upgrade my graphics again, I can get PCI-E but not make my current new card obselete already?

Thanks
Jack

Hmm, ok thanks for your help.

Also, I was thinking of getting this:
I take my PC to my friend's house a lot and the full-size ATX case I have now is REALLY bulky. Would this fit in my micro-ATX mobo, an AGP GFX card and a few PCI's? And do you know if the PSU is a special size?

I know it's a shot in the dark but I thought you might have some experience or can make an educated guess.

What are most dual-core motherboards? Micro or full size?

Thanks
Jack

You can get boards of any size, but its the case that'll determine it if takes a standard PSU or not, but most are standard. Micro-ATX boards fit mid and full ATX cases but you won't fit an ATX board into a micro-ATX case, you also should be aware that bigger cases are generally better for cooling.
