No, it's not just because I'm lusting for one. (And I am!) 8)
I think it makes total sense. Not just to rub AMD's face in the 4X4 diaper. But for a top end killer machine that although might not be the ultimate gaming platform would certainly make image/video manipulators and other high end workstation users drool.
Yes, I know that there are motherboards on the market and more coming that will accomodate two Penryns, but those are server boards that will require registered RAM. I'd love to see a motherboard that will accomodate that fat and lovely 1.6G FSB with non-reg RAM designed specifically for the poweruser. After all, EEC RAM hasn't done anything special for me lately so I don't care.
What do you guys think are the chances and/or desireability and/or marketability and/or technical obstacles for such a motherboard?
