Looks like the X58 platform, which was the only seemingly/relatively future-proof socket from Intel may not retain the high-end crown for long as, apparently, Sandy Bridge will be compatiable with LGA 1156 and may use a new, quad memory channel-ed extra PCI-E lane and HT enabled "X68"(or something along those lines) chipset.

Ofcourse, all this is speculative, but definately good discussion material.

It would seem that if you are buying Intel, consider the CPU+Motherboard to be 1 single package(but then if you really bought exactly what you wanted, that's the way its always been). As always, AM2+ is the exception.
