This isn't the first AGP/PCIe combo board I've seen, but it certainly is the first mobo I've seen in quite some time to use an nForce3 chip. Yeah. Strangely fascinating. I like the name, too... almost like they want it to be associated with Frankenstein.

"ASRock's latest AliveDual eSATA2 motherboard combines the M1695 chipset, originally designed by ULi, with Nvidia's nForce 3 250, which launched in 2003, to create a modern mash-up that may sound bizarre, but is also strangely compelling."
