But for real though.... theoretically speaking, what if you wanted to use a motherboard with 5 PCIe slots and fill them up with 9800GX2s, and slap on a quad? That would come out to 12 clients on a single PC....is that just not possible?

But you would be limited to single slot cards.
IIRC XP/Vista there is a max # of monitors you can use. I think its 5.

See that x4 slot at the top? The back of it is open so that you can still fit an x16 card in it without any modding.
I was gonna use that board for my TEC setup but apparently its not a great overclocker, so I'm just gonna use it for a folding rig/server (there's no way it will sell for anything worth it in the condition its in).
So no more than 5 GPUs per PC?

There's actually 16 clients per rig, so you're good to go...

Couldn't possibly be a real ASUS card, where's all the copper?

Lol, many of us are already running up to six clients on one PC, 2 X SMP with VMware and up to four GPU2 clients on the MSI P6N Diamond.

The 9800GX2 requires 2 Slots.
Even when changing cooler.
So you would need to use expansive Riser Cards.

All ends in the fact that build in multiple Systems is cheaper ;o)

Good point with the riser card...
But nah, in the long run using as few motherboards as possible is the cheapest. Because
a) For each PC you have to pay for the MB and RAM (and maybe a case) - none of which produce PPD
b) For each PC you have to pay for powering the MB and RAM - neither of which produce PPD
c) Since GPUs produce more PPD than CPUs, maximizing the GPU/CPU ratio will naturally yeild the best solution for the money.
