That's pretty cool. Although, I'm not sure if I would want one. I mean, I would like to have one sure, but I don't think I'd spend the extra $$ on it to have it. I really don't think I could utilize the extra specs/features to justify the costs. The only pro I can see for it would be to lower the power bill. That's nice and all, but I just don't think its worth shelling out big bucks for it. I might consider it more deeply if it was a very nice enthusiast motherboard, but with socket 775 and DDR2, it's not.

Summarized: I don't think its going to take off. The average consumer or even enthusiast isn't going to want to shell out big bucks for a yesterday technology board just to save a few bucks here and there on the power bill. It's neat, but next to pointless/useless.

But maybe I'm missing something here?

Edit: Can you run both systems at once? As in, could you hook up two monitors and basically have two separate systems inside of one box? It might be kind of worth it then. It would be like a dual screen setup, except each screen has its own computer, but you only have one computer and thus everything is interconnected (like data). I'd pay MAYBE $200 for that.

It is designed for 2 systems (2 users) in 1 box, meaning you need to copies of windows, 1 for each machine.
