Quad GPU but single CPU - not a good combo

To cut the story short, here is the message: expect high-end desktops with TWO CPU SOCKETS soon... i.e. Quad-SLI (and possibly Quad CrossFire) mainboards with dual-socket workstation/server CPUs, but desktop balls and whistles like overclocking, low-latency memory, super sound, etc.

It's about fr*kking time Dual CPU motherboards are released for enthusiasts for recent CPUs. But Opteron / Xeon setups will be costly...
