actually considering buying an FX.... and still stuck on AGP.... no.

That's the one I'm getting. I've had nothing but good from Abit. Have 5 systems running right now with them.

And, the CPU I would recommend would be a 3500+ or 3800+ venice core. If you have the money for an FX-57 though, I would get that.
