Biostar today adds to its T-Series motherboard lineup, this time with a hybrid board capable of running both DDR2 and DDR3 memory (not at the same time).
"Needless to say, the double DDR2/DDR3 design make it possible for users to enjoy better compatibility and cost saving on future memory upgrade," Biostar wrote in a press release. "This motherboard also supports Biostar's exclusive G.P.U. energy-saving technology."
The TP45E Combo motherboard dedicates two slots to each memory standard with support for up to 4GB of DDR3-800/1066/1333, and up to 8GB of DDR2-667/800/1066. Other notables include "whole solid capacitors," 1600MHz frontside bus support, 3 PCI slots, 2 PCI-E x1 slots, a single PCI-E Gen2 x16 slot, 6 SATA ports, and 5.1 surround sound.
No word yet on price or availability.

Did you guys ever stop to think that maybe telling what socket type this board is? I'm guessing that it is AM2/AM2+/AM3 but you don't even mention if it is for Intel or AMD CPUs....

That is a very good question. But maybe the information isn't available.

That board looks like it would make a good HTPC motherboard. It has just the right number of expansion slots as well as SATA ports. Plus with 5.1 audio and a small form factor, add in a low power CPU and you've got the workings of a decent HTPC.
