DFI Hybrid Mobo?

[poldopunk]

---

The term 'Hybrid' these days probably relates most to hybrid cars. DFI has taken the concept of two machines - a high-power one, and an energy-efficient one, to a whole new level with its Hybrid P45-ION-T2A2 socket LGA 775 motherboard. This motherboard literally packs two motherboards sharing a PCB: one P45+ICH10R based socket LGA-775 system, and another portion holding an Intel Atom processor powered by NVIDIA ION chipset. Each has its own memory and storage subsystems, and share the machine's IO (input devices and display) in a somewhat KVM-style. So even as the major system is busy playing games, transcoding media, or running other power-hungry tasks, the minor system is quietly running the downloads, playing music, etc. When the major system is not needed, the minor system provides enough juice for media consumption and internet browsing, and general productivity at a really low energy footprint. A pretty neat concept.

oi on the high side man ang price, mas mahal paman sa flagship x58 mobo

pwede baya. all you need is a hardware switching circuit. I doubt nga mo gana ni on the fly. reboot jud ni coz it's bypassing function blocks.

this is not a good design better pa if ang processor nila na embed ang system dili sa motherboard kay it costs very much. the price is not worth it as many people say and its just like an entry level board with a bad price tag.
