Will mounting holes change with nehalem?

Well, my almost 5 year old pc has served me well and I've been watching the market for a while and with nVidia dropping the ball with the 9800 series and Intel about to switch sockets I'm forced to wait, but then this brings another question will the mounting holes also change with the new socket? and will current cases on the market (such as the one I'm looking at) work with nehalem motherboards when the socket does change?

Oh before I forget I'm looking at the Silverstone SG-02F

i dont think the mounting holes will change, there should be many motherboards with micro atx, atx, and maybe extended atx specifications, so they should fit current cases. the atx standard hasnt changed in quite a while, and i dont think it will change with nehalem.
 
The motherboard will still be in the regular old ATX/mATX/eATX format, but the processor mounting holes could change with a new socket; that means that none of the 775 coolers will work unless they have new clips/adapters.
