Well this is where EXT would come in as he has this kind of stuff already. Although In my opinion, i would get a G34 socket MB over a C32.

1. I can confirm that on other forums that some Coolers and be modded just slightly to work with the socket http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1038043000&postcount=4

2. On the Hardcoop forum, a few members actually made a bios for a few select MB's that can overclock Mangy-Cours Cpu's for 4P motherboards!

3. You can get a 2 or 4 processor MB and i might be wrong on this but i think that when PD comes around (if you ever wanted to upgrade), i would only be brought over to the G34 socket (like said, i could be wrong as i list to too many people with the G34 socket).
