I was thinking about the same thing earlier. My rig is getting "dated" with all the cool stuff coming out. Wish there where more dual proc MB to choose from.

I'm 100% sure that when this processor will be released motherboard will follow, if not are already released. I've been waiting for almost 3-4 years for a board that can support more then one multi-core Cpu. I would been satisfied with 2 x Quad. But they give us 6 cores! haha, im going to have lots of fun building this rig, and i recon it will be very, Very fast

At this moment there is no mobo that can do this. But from the reviews on the internet they say that the GT300 platform can support Tri-sli. We have to see what the future brings us considering motherboards and i hope there will be a multiple-CPU motherboard that also supports Tri or even Quad sli.
And yes, on release date i recon that these CPU's will be well over 1000 US dollars. So that would be $5000 dollar just for the CPU & GPU.
EDIT:
I was wrong, there IS a motherboard at this moment that supports Quad sli & Two 1366 CPU's:

Other than this will be a monster rig. |

I'm not sure a 24 thread machine will be any better than a simple i7 rig for gaming

Also dual CPU mainboards aren't the best for overclocking and most don't allow it at all.
Current games when CPU limited, aren't bottlenecked by the number of cores but more by the actual speed.
If you really want a killer rig, use the spare cash on more pixels as the rig you're thinking of will be majorly overkill on a 1920x1080 display

Yeah! What a board but its based on the Intel 5520 Chipset so no SLI or Crossfire.

I want this board. Onboard MegaRAID and a PIKE slot? Sign me up. SATA 3.0Gb/s? Yes. Dual Nehalem Xeons? SWEET. 96GB of RAM? I can use that! And look, it's a REAL SERIAL PORT! Not to mention the KVM.
