If you're around long enough you'll hear about freezing issues with every hardware combination

The ASrock seems to be the preferred solution to your problem of running AGP on Socket 939. People here have been saying good things about the board and its o/c potential.

You could also have a look at the Lan party dfi ultra-d which has also earned rave reviews and is highly o/clockable

....but isn't AGP

There are a couple of threads going about compatability issues with the board you may want to read.
