Are there any decent dual CPU boards out there that will support a 775 socket. The only one i've found supports the Core 2 Extreme and Xeon, but not the Core 2 Quad, which is what i want to use.

I've found a few that say they support 775 socket Xeons, but don't mention the core 2 quads....so long as it's the right socket type, does that matter?

Because i can get two Q9650's for the price of a single 3.0 GHz core 2 extreme and still have about three hundred dollars extra to spend on a better motherboard and/or better graphics card/cards. But whatever, i just went with the single socket 775 and a Q9650, since i don't really want to spend 1000 dollars on just the CPU. the Q9650 is already far better than anything I've had before, and for less than half the cost of the core 2 extreme. I'll just upgrade later if i have to.
