Computex 2K5:: Socket 754 and 939 on same board and switchless SLI
Last of all, literally, since this is my last story from Computex 2005, they've got a pair of SLI mainboards for Athlon 64 and Pentium 4 that do away with SLI switches by giving you three PEG16X slots. Using SLI? Populate the outer slots. Not bothering? Use the inner one. Really easy and saves faffing around, with only one wasted I/O space if you don't use SLI.

The PCI-E/AGP combo board interests me, shame I don't know much about Jetway. Not sure if I would be willing to buy a product from them as I have never heard of anyone using their kit, not recently anyway.

I've had three of their boards - one was a replacement for a failed one. We're talking a few years ago, they were VIA KT133, KT133A and KT266 based motherboards. I can't say they impressed me. The KT266 board is still running though, with no stability issues.

Seems that I am right to worry. If the likes Asus, Abit, DFI etc released a combo graphics board I would be very interested. Haven't heard of anything though.

The way I see it, people seem to be having enough fun upgrading graphics and CPU as well as motherboard that they don't see a need for such hybrid boards. I must admit I'm used to upgrading mem/cpu/mobo at the same time.
