Take the 2-minute tour ×  I've seen some people suggesting to
get a motherboard that supports two processors and stick two
Xeon Nehalem processors in it.  Could you use this system as a
desktop PC or is this useless or even impossible?  It's more
hypothetical question if Windows 7 would support such a set-up.
I know you could just take an i7, but wouldn't two of those
processors be a whole lot more awesome? Like the previous
generation Skulltrails?  The idea would be to have a motherboard
like this ASUS Z8NA-D6C Dual LGA 1366 Intel 5500 ATX and two
Xeons (since I don't think i7's could be used) Intel Xeon E5405
Harpertown to run something like Windows 7 Ultimate.

accepted  Dual processor desktop. Is it possible? Yes. Should
you do it? -- don't bother unless you have custom requirements
for it.  In fact, do not even go beyond Dual Core processors. Do
i7 and Nehalam architecture in general have advantages? yes.
