I saw this at tomshardware...Unfortunately it is an ECS mobo, but that probably means affordable....

now there's an interesting idea!

Thats certainly unique, imagine the possiblities. Now you can compare benchmarks between and Intel and AMD cpu on the exact same motherboard..got a program that actualy runs better on the pentium 4? just switch the jumpers, and run the P4, then go back to the amd when your done..

To me, it's a waste of money. I'd stick with a system that takes one or the other.

Lol, I remember there was something like this a while ago that would have been for Athlon XPs and Athlon 64s, but I don't think it ever came out.
I guess since athlon 64s have their own memory controller it makes it easy to bybass the northbridge, but kind of lame that the add on card has its own mem slots.
So basically this is like a mini motherboard that plugs into your motherboard?

That's retarded. Besides, it's just a plug-in card with an AMD processor on it. Useless.
