drummerdimitri :
Nice idea in theory but highly unluckily to make it into the real world.
The idea is not new, Gateway or one of the other large OEMs did exactly that in the mid-90s: put the VRM, CPU, north bridge and RAM on one card, put all the IO controllers and PCI/ISA slots on the other part. You want to upgrade the CPU, you replace the CPU card.
The same thing could still be done today but with CPUs tied to only one or two generations of chipsets on Intel's side, you'd still need to replace the IO side of things on nearly every CPU upgrade anyway.
