Works like a 945P; priced like a 915P
With EliteBus that makes tech savvy users' dreams of dual convertibility between Intel and AMD platform desktop and mobile CPUs come true,  the simply smart ECS PF88 Extreme Hybrid with Simply Smart SIMA platform converter cards could well become the hottest product at Computex Taipei 2005.

By using a SIMA card that integrates the CPU socket, NorthBridge, memory DIMM and PWM module with the PF88 Extreme Hybrid, users can easily transform their PC into any platform they desire without the expense and hassle usually associated with catching up with the latest technology, eliminating rapids changes in CPU socket and memory technology as an issue for users. Available SIMA cards accommodate AMD Athlon 64 FX/Athlon 64, AMD Athlon 64/Athlon Sempron and Intel Pentium M CPUs.

Designed for PCI Express platform, the PF88 Extreme Hybrid is ready for the next generation I/O bus. Better yet, the Hybrid accommodates all the latest technology including Dual Core, EM64T, eSATA, NCQ, SATAII and Port Multiplier. And ECS's patented Instant Overclocking Controller or I.O.C. is supported for automatic, simultaneous CPU and GPU overclocking, making the PF88 Extreme Hybrid an excellent solution for 3D games and video.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core technology support
Designed for the existing 939 infrastructure, the simply smart Athlon 64 X2 processor delivers advanced multi-tasking capabilities and superior multimedia performance. To benefit those who are digital media enthusiasts as well as those who run many software applications simultaneously, ECS has developed motherboards based on AMD Athlon 64 X2 technology, delivering superior performance for multi-threaded applications, including background productivity, digital content creation, programming and commercial convergence applications. They deliver the ability do more in less time, increasing computing performance by as much as 50 percent.

ECS motherboards supporting Socket 939 Athlon 64 X2 processor are the KN1 SLI Extreme, KA1 Extreme, KN1 Extreme, KV2 Extreme, KV2 Lite, 755-A939, RX480-A, RS480-M, NFORCE4-A939, K8T890-A and 756-A.
