MSI X38 board pictured
While the P35 chipset has spawned a lot of high-end board, Intel's X38 part was actually meant to be used in the ultra high-end. MSI is one of the first to jump the gun, with a detailed picture of the upcoming flagship Intel based product. The interesting aspect are the four PCIe slots for Quad Crossfire.

theres some pictures of other x38 boards here too www.tomshardware.com/picturegalleries/gallery-200706053-1.html
only 1 pc1 slot!? and if you use it, you wont be able to put a card in the pci-x slot above it
Stupid layout and design, why not just go DDR3, and make the board a bit longer for a useful PCI slot? Or kill the fourth PCI-e and put a PCI there so you can run crossfire with one for physics?
Unless creative have come out with a PCI X1 version of the XFi which they probably no doubt will in the future.
Right now, that is good enough for Quad-SLi.
