S775, DDR-400, and PCI-E? Didn't know that they made one of these.

Most 915 boards at launch could do both. The joke was you could reuse your DDR1 then upgrade later to DDR2 to see performance decrease because of DDR2's slower latency.

I've got a 915P board with just DDR and PCI-e in an old system running in the house. DDR boards weren't exactly rare in the Prescott days.

The ASUS P5PE-VM also has something similar; only difference is AGP instead of PCI-E. I'm posting from one right now. Sports a Pentium E2180.

Gee, if I could find something like that with about 8 RAM slots, then I'd really have something, or maybe I already threw away my pile of 256-512MB DDR sticks...

what was also a really strange family of boards were the asrock 939dual series, you could add a daughterboard to get support for am2 cpus. Had one for my son but I cant remember if it was the 939dual sata2 or the 939dual vsta.

you even had an AGP and pcie x16 slots.
