marsx69 Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 Check this out. I found this on newegg today. A mobo with a 754 and 939 pin socket!! http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc....-157-035&DEPA=0 Anyone ever see anything like this?? I've seen dual mobos before but the sockets were the same. Anyway just thought i'd throw it out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
evanin Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 thats just weird... and for only $77 I wonder if you can use both kinds of processors at the same time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 From what I could find it supports one or the other. not both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some_Guy_ Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 Kinda like the old Slot 1 and Socket 370 boards. One or the other, but not both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overclocker16 Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 It won't OC far, but that looks like not a bad way to make money for ASRock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 god that just looks like an abomination of nature. not to mention the ALI chipset... they haven't even gotten the review sites interested in them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSternMystic Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 Take a 754 Genome, a 939 Genome, Splice, bake for 10 minutes, and what do you get? An ASRock K8 COMBO-Z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleaznkid Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 looks cool. 77 thats too good to be true.. and chipset never even heard of it. =] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammin Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 ..and chipset never even heard of it. =] So does that inspire you with confidence? To me it simply screams 'crap chipset'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindDrive Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Ali chipsets have been around for a LOOOOONG time- i had a bunch of k6/2 boards that had them on there and a few "pre" k6/2 boards- they were barely keeping up when VIA came out with their chipsets and Ali couldnt keep up with the high demand for "bling bling" hardware so they started into the smaller multi-media applications and away from the PC industry - you would be supprized how many devices you own that have an Ali chip in em: http://www.ali.com.tw/eng/products/products.htm http://www.ali.com.tw/eng/products/ali_powered_products.htm its hard to say how that motherboard would actually perform since most "dual type" motherboards are to offer a hardware sollution over performance but it cant be that much of a "high performer" as it has a pretty shoddy looking chipset heatsink (like the intel 815 chipset heatsinks) but it would be a nice little platform to benchmark different chips on an EQUAL playing field since both chips would be using the same motherboard LOL and then just use the results to compare to the same chip on a specific high end motherboard i would say if your the adventerous type and want to see performance of 2 of the socketed chips on the same board - get it - test the chips - then stick the machine with one of the chips in the corner and have it ripping or folding ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 it's not really a fair match up even on the same board different memory banks for each cpu.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindDrive Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 true but thats just a matter of memory addressing - if you used the same ram on one side and swapped processors, put the ram on the other side, then they would still be using the same routes just in a different location - at first glance i would have figured that they would have that board set up for dual DDR ~_~ guess the only way to really figure out how it performs is to buy it, buy the 2 maximum processors that it supports and test it -_- then buy 2 choice boards for each processor and test them against that dual board Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
