Can you get a board that accepts a Socket 939 and a socket 754 cpu ?

Hi ,

I seen this board on newegg someone was telling me they were going to get , and it says its a Socket 754 and socket 939 board ?

Here

Is this true and if so , can you get other board manufacturers with boards like this ?

Not "and", "or". And, according to a (German) review I've just read, its socket-939 implementation stinks. RAM compatibility issues, no cool&quiet, etc.
There's little point in using it.

You can get official information from the Asrock website

ASrock K8 Combo-Z FAQ at OCW

ASrock K8 Combo-Z user thread at OCW

The best place to get information about Asrock motherboards is OCW, they are in direct contact with Asrock and also are the first to receive new performance bios etc!

Yeah , i have NO interest in buying the board at all , I was just interested in it because ive never seen a board that has 2 different sockets on it .
