Anyone aware of a multi-socket motherboard based upon the LGA-1155 socket, i.e. the new Sandy Bridge processors? I cannot find anything!

A Multi-socket LGA-1155 is a type of CPU socket that is used to connect processors to the motherboard in a computer. It is designed for processors with 1155 pins and supports multiple processors in a single socket. This allows for improved performance and multitasking capabilities.
A Multi-socket LGA-1155 is compatible with Intel processors that have 1155 pins, including the 2nd and 3rd generation Core i3, i5, and i7 processors. It is not compatible with AMD processors.
A Multi-socket LGA-1155 can support up to two processors in a single socket. This allows for improved performance and multitasking capabilities.
The main benefit of using a Multi-socket LGA-1155 is that it allows for improved performance and multitasking capabilities. It also allows for easier upgrades, as you can add a second processor without having to change the entire motherboard.
One potential drawback of using a Multi-socket LGA-1155 is that it may be more expensive than a single-socket motherboard. Additionally, not all software and applications are optimized to take advantage of multiple processors, so the benefits may not be fully utilized in all cases.
