New 55W Xeon DP 2.8GHz EMT64

Intel annouced this back in October. IBM is shipping Blade Servers with it. Where can I buy one? What consumer motherboards will support it?

I'm all about low heat SMP... 55W and .9 micron make me happy!

I want to build a workstation, but can't seem to find any available.

I'd like to see how it performs on 64 bit code first before I jump on that bandwagon. I've heard their implementation of it into the xeon line sucked.

Tell me this isn't true, cuz I'm already starting my dualie project on these Nocona's..

I can't actually say, I'm basing it of hearsay, but it what it sounds like was the 64 bit in the xeons was added as an after thought, I might be wrong, haven't seen benches to back it up yet.
