SIS debuted a motherboard that can accomodate either a 754 pin chip OR a 939 pin chip while at the Computex show in Taipei.
One board caught our attention because it was rotating slowly and seemed to be the oddest dual socket board we’d ever seen. In fact, this is a board made by Asrock to accommodate the folk who want to plug either a 754 pin Athlon XP or an Athlon 64 for 939 pins into a motherboard. That’s because the change from one socket to another is always tricky. In passing, Dirk Meyer, senior VP at AMD, confirmed that when the K9 comes, it will have a different socket to 939 pins, yeah verily.
