Asus Unleashes a B250 Mining Motherboard with 19 PCIe Slots
- peter_d_sherman 6y agoNote that this board may have other applications than cryptocurrency mining... The idea of an "open ended" motherboard -- which gives the hobbyist/tinkerer up to 19 PCIe connections -- may turn out to have a lot of future non-cryptocurrency related applications... Like (if I were to have things my way) I'd like a motherboard with CPU slot (which accepted FPGA's), with RAM slots, power, and bus, and absolutely no other chips or ports on it... None. No sound chip, no network chip, etc., etc. In other words, let the owner of the motherboard -- implement that functionality (or maybe put a set of FPGA slots on it, all connected to the bus, and let the user choose their own FPGA chips...) That is, let the user implement their own designs without being locked-in...
