Integrated AMD and Intel Motherboard a Waste of Time?
Caught this on /.
"Kez writes "We haven't seen AMD and Intel CPUs since Socket 7, but ECS have created a motherboard sporting both Intel LGA775 and AMD 939 sockets. An Intel chip will sit in the board itself, whereas an AMD chip can be used through a daughterboard. HEXUS.net has the scoop from CeBIT." While this is pretty slick, I do wonder who is actually gonna buy this board in place of their usual favorite, since it's not like people are swapping their processors around every chance they get, unless they don't actually use the computer they've built."

Our Take Nice idea but not worth the time or money to get these always at war CPUs to live in peace.
The CPU riser card is situated between 2 PCIe 16x slots. So you aren't going to be able to run SLI on the board, but you will be able to run one 16x card.
Heh, I wish I had time to make a "big posting" (or really any posting)... Right now I'm just suffering through a 10 page paper on Schmitt and Arendt's critique of Liberalism for my Social Sciences class and then I have my math final coming up on Thursday. Going home on Friday and I won't be around much until the 28th.
