Two X58's in one motherboard possible?

[jlcowper]

I am trying to see where I can get a motherboard or system with two X58's in them and what advantages I would get by doing that? Does Dell sell something like this?

Thank you in advance for the help.

No, there isn't, and there never will be. The workstation market has motherboards with dual IOH-36D chipsets for dual-CPU systems. IOH-36D is equivalent to X58.

Look at the Supermicro MBD-X8DAH+-O. 18 DIMMs, Dual-1366, Dual IOH-36D... LARGE, but with firewire, audio etcetera, which workstation boards usually lack.

THe closest is EVGA SR-2: dual 1366, but only Xeons. Not X58, but similar.
