Is it possible to get a motherboard which will take dual 4960X CPUs? I'm -not- just meaning socket 2011. I mean actually verified to work properly with these specific CPUs. I'm not having much luck finding one that specifically says it will work with those chips...just socket 2011. I was mainly checking ASUS' site, but it's vague on the model I found for socket 2011 which took dual CPUs.

Thanks!

My system is used for multiple tasks:

*Pretty standard web browsing/office production/systems administration work
*Gaming (all genres)
*Music production (FL Studio, and a metric tonne of VST plugins)
*Occasionally running a VM with CentOS, for development/testing, used for work

Which would suit me better? Dual Xeon, or single i7 4960X? Price differences notwithstanding, my usual integrator seemed to indicate I'm better off with the i7 if I do gaming, as Xeons and their boards tend to be geared towards server-oriented tasks, rather than gaming.

It's seriously impossible to run dual 4960X chips at this time?

I run my systems for 5-8 years. I'm replacing a 6yr old E8400 (still not -that- shabby, by Core2 Duo standards...second fastest ever made). So I fully intend on getting the fastest available at the time of purchase...it needs to last me 5-8 years.
