AMD or Intel, can't decide? No problem for you now.
I just ran across this link to Hexus.net at [H]ardOCP and if you are a fencesitter between going AMD or Intel, ECS is designing a board for you. 
This board is so cool! 
Here's a snippet from the article:
This board is so cool! Here's a snippet from the article:article wrote:The mainboard itself features an SiS965 Southbridge and SiS656 Northbridge for full Intel P4 1066 FSB support on the Intel LGA775 platform. What makes this board special is that by using a converter card you can slot in your AMD 939 Athlon 64 chip and have that running on the board instead. The converter features a SiS756 chipset to utilise the AMD K8 architecture, and is so new, it has no name, not even a codename at the time of writing.
The mainboard has 4 slots for DDR2 667, a 1066FSB, SATA2, GigaLAN and 1394a Firewire. When in place, the SiS965 Southbridge is shared with the converter card which is based around AMD socket 939. The card has it’s own dedicated SiS756 Northbridge, 2 slots of DDR400, power management circuits and a FSB2000T. These are all needed to run the AMD K8 technology.

As a concept and novelty though, that dual format motherboard is very interesting.
It might be nice to have one as a tech tool for troubleshooting purposes. For instance, in field service work where you didn't want to have to lug a bunch of stuff to the customers home or office.
I suppose a large business with lots of computers might find it somewhat attractive. If you were in the process of changing over from one type CPU to another you could get a little more mileage out of your old parts during the transition.
And I also agree with Leo too. Research and buy what you actually need, not a "one size fits all" solution.
A company that routinely turned over all their computers every two or three years would likely have all of them be of one type. Lots of other companies only replace the worst 20% of their machines every year or so. Buying a few of these boards might mean having to invest in fewer spares.
It's not the way I would do it, but then again, I wouldn't have my receptionist using a P-60 with 8MB of ram - something I've encountered far too often...
I guess I should say why though.... it's not that big of a deal, it's not much different than any other board, but you have to have that stupid slot to switch to AMD. Now if they built it so you could use BOTH at the same time that would be awsome. Let me explain.
I don't mean both as in dual processor, SMP or anything like that, but both as in having two phyisical computers in one system. Kinda like having two computers with a KVM switch, but instead of two separate machines, you have one. Sure with some modding you could do this with you computer, but this is a single motherboard and would be much easier.
It would be great! You could have both systems on at the same time through one good PSU, you may use two HDD's for the OS or two partitions for the OS's on the same HDD. Be playing a game on one processor then switch over to the other like you would with a KVM and all of a sudden be doing some 3D modeling on the other processor. Better yet, you could be rendering on one CPU, while modeling on the other since the rendering process is software only and doesn't include your GPU.
I would be in LOVE if that were how this thing was.... but it ain't so it sucks
after looking at the board for a while i noticed those werent serial connections, lol, and after a few moinutes of scrounding around for what the hell this thing was i came up with this
Jetway has patented a method of litereally using 1 machine as 2, obviously not for gamming, but for punk kids that have to do home works and stuff. They call it MagicTwin technology that litterally allows you to hook 2 monitors, 2 keyboards, and 2 mice to it and beable to do different things on "both machines". two different processor types aside this is the most interesting board ive found on newegg
Here's the link to a little presentation deal that shows the various setups.
