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.

Depends what you're after. Some computing power applications are actually best run with graphics cards, as some programs do support GPU compute.

Depending on how you are crunching numbers, you might get more flops per dollar by getting several slower, cheaper machines...4 I7-based rigs will have more raw computing power than a single quad-Xeon rig...but only if you are doing Folding@Home, SETI, or something else that is written to work efficiently like this.
