Let me be the first to say: holy crap.
That's a lot of power for one board, throw on a couple i7's and a bunch of GPUs and you've got a folding monster. Or simply a board that can do some fast freakin' autoCAD renders.
Any specs or links behind the board itself?

Is that the Extended ATX form factor? Is the Extended ATX form factor becoming more common?

Is that a real board, or just some clever photochop?

I'm with you on this one, it doesn't really look legit. Either way, if that board is decently priced and doesn't require special processors or RAM, I'll jump on it. I've always wanted 16 cores (or maybe 24 when the 6 cores come out!).

Seems it is legit Thid.

A google search of "EVGA Dual socket" gives quite a large number of hits talking about them debuting it at CES.

Yes it is E-ATX, I don't see E-ATX becomming more common for the average-high end user. Maybe for the absolute hardcore user with $$$$ to burn.
Certainly are folders dream. Would sell my soul for one

Here's my dual 1366 wish list:
http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=15317428
the E5520s do have HT and VT, but unfortunately the ASUS Z8NA-D6C probably couldn't OC them much, if at all.
With some careful client choices, might be a worthwhile folding rig.

I'll be the first to say:
1) Underwhelming performance.
Dual sockets have never yielded amazing performance as far as synthetic applications go.
Only server operating systems can support and make use of two processors.
Using non-ECC with server boards is not recommended, and I am almost certain this motherboard uses a server reference specification.
Most multi-socket boards are for rendering crunching. It's rare we even see a quad-core taking full advantage of multiple threads, why push the bar with 8 cores?
I guess there's just no point as far as I'm concerned. For the cost of that board, I can buy two very nice X58 boards. The two processors would be much better split into two set ups.

I had noticed that the board would take non-ECC some time back, I just haven't edited the wish list.
Essenar,
You are right on all counts, but as avid Folding@home team members, we are always looking for the most power under the hood.

I'm sure someone will cram 7 GTX 295s in there to try and break 100k PPD from a single box. I would think you could try those extra big WUs... god I forgot the name, those ones that take two days to complete on a i7 975?
Been out of the fold for a while.

For the <3 of gawd, don't give them any ideas like that.
It's only worth $400... maybe less. A lot less.
