Bright Side of News found more details of the upcoming EVGA W555 motherboard, a new dual QPI Xeon mainboard with 4-way SLI and CrossFire support. It has some quite interesting features, such as the capability to run different processor models together. You can even mix quad-core and hexa-core chips, but they must be from the same architecture family, it's not possible to mix and match Westmere plus Nehalem processors. More info
