I have checked all the 845 based boards in Biostar's web site:
*www.biostar-usa.com/mbmain.asp
& found for particularly your For XGP not XAGP
P4TGV-R based on Intel 845GV chipset:
The board has no sata, raid and PCI-E support
*www.biostar-usa.com/mbdetails.asp?model=p4tgv-r
XGP:
Xtreme Graphics Port is Biostar's unique engineering solution of adding
limited AGP graphics card support to the Intel 845GV chipset. The XGP slot
is not compatible with all AGP cards but has been tested with AGP cards
listed below:

Man may be i am wrong about biostar may be not the brand but i am positive i saw an 845 PGA 478 400/533mhz board which had both PCI-E and SATA support....... You see i had a 3.0Ghz p4 HT processor i was looking for the board 865 mb for it when my mercury 865mb died on me , The cpu was PGA 478... I was looking for that board for quite some time but was unable to find it ... That time some dealer showed me this board but since it does not support 800FSB processor i have to leave it........ while later i sold my processor instead and upgraded.......
what can i say dude .........
if you are unable to find any supporting board i will suggest that sell both mb and procesor and upgrade to intel original GGC and P4 HT processor for a while you wont need a graphics card and this board comes equipped with ati 200 on board and the combo will cost you around 7odd K and now you can sell your p42.4 + MB + FX5200 for atleast 3.5 odd k ... still dent will be atmost 3.5K and you will now be updated that i am daam sure about...........
peace
