ASRock has taken the old and created something new with its AliveDual eSATA2 motherboard. This unique motherboard is a combination of the M1695 chipset and Nvidia's nForce 3 250 that was released way back in 2003 - ancient by computing standards. Thankfully, the AliveDual eSATA2 is compatible with the latest AMD quad-core Phenom X4 processors thanks to AMD's commitment to backwards compatibility. In addition to the M1695-powered PCI Express slot, you also get the nForce 3's AGP slot, allowing you to rock with a graphics card of either format. No idea on how much this Frankenstein motherboard costs.
