A multi-socketed i7-920? The next quad-socket monster? What will it be? What will it do? When will it be here? What will it cost?

Any ideas? Anything to plan for? Wwo should we suck up to?

You can already get quad-socket 1366 boards on newegg...and the top-end xeons are almost as fast at the top-end I7. These boards suck for gaming and graphics...but are great for number crunching.
