Found a review

So I just remembered this existed, I'll update the thread once I find the actual name of the board, it's the:
ECS PF88 Extreme Hybrid Intel/AMD Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813135202

It needs:
socket 775 Intel Pentium 4 or socket 939 AMD Athlon 64 processor.

I think I actually have a 775 CPU lying around here, seems so, a pentium 4 531

but assuming all the parts needed could be found and it was working, would wendell be up for doing a video on it?

Essentially it's an old motherboard with an intel socket that has the capability of getting a daughter board added that can house an AMD CPU

Performance wise I'm not sure if it would be useful for anything, but I think it'd be a fairly interesting video none the less.

I wonder if any company would be crazy enough to do something like this again once zen launches

Dat ubuntu colorscheme though.

Might be cool. I would find this entertaining.

Manliest colorscheme EVAR...
This could have been really really good if it was 1150/AM3+ combo...
You need powerful cores - you have your i5/i7... You need your rendering and stuff? Here are 8 extra cores... Have fun...
I believe it's 775/939 combo... Looks really nice though... Manly...

You can only use one CPU at a time obviously.

Its an interesting product because this was when AMD was still on top the first time right? Also AMD was more expensive at the time too
