    COOL!! AMD Socket 939 and Intel Socket 775 processors can be used in that motherboard! I guess that would result in very high performance!

    The board has the potential to cause a revolution amongst motherboard makers, but in itself - performance wise - it's no great shakes!

    The daughterboard design needs tweaking to allow the use of bigger aftermarket coolers and more RAM.

    It would make a good buy for someone wanting a current Intel system, but hoping to upgrade to dual core (AMD's rendition) when it hits the mainstream.

    In reality anyone looking to build a new system now would be well advised to opt for a dedicated 939 motherboard because of the upgrade potential such boards possess.

    Yes, to M2, which will support DDR2, but Socket 939 will be around for awhile yet. Think we were spoiled by the longevity of Socket A 462.
