Upgrade question

Not sure if this is the right forum or not but....

My current PC motherboard is a intel D845GLLY (only has PCI bus)
[color=#22229c]http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/ly/[/color]

The system isnt that old, I want to be able upgrade my motherboard
to just a agp compatible motherboard so I can keep my excisting hardware
ram, cpu and so on so it cuts down the price.

Would I be able to do that with any of these motherboards?:

ASUS P4B-MX PENTIUM 4 SOCKET 478 MOTHERBOARD AGP SDRAM

Intel D865GVHZ Motherboard

MSI PM8M-V M/B For INTEL 478 Pin

I like the look of the MSI, cos it has a agpx8 slot.
All my componets that I have in my intel D845GLLY should plug into
these new mobo's alright shouldnt they?

Look at the RAM alone...

Intel D845GLLY -- supports two 168-pin SDR SDRAM DIMM sockets, 3.3 V (only) 133 MHz DIMMs with gold-plated contacts, for up to 2 GB† system memory.

ASUS P4B-MX -- supports 3 x 168-pin DIMM sockets, Max. 3GB PC133/PC100 unbuffered ECC/non-ECC SDRAM DIMMS.

==============================

these 2 boards requires different type of RAM from the ones you have.

Intel D865GVHZ -- supports two 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM sockets, DDR 400, DDR 333 and DDR 266, for up to 2 GB of system memory.

MSI PM8M-V -- supports two 184-pin DDR DIMM, 2.5v DDR SDRAM, up to 2GB DDR333/400 SDRAM.
