I did not see that. I do see 2x CPU power on it though and 2X also listed down in the corner.

If it is 6 series... it will be a beast. Find it hard to accept though they will have duall 1155 before socket 2011 comes out

I missed it too. It is in very very small font compared to the marketing jive all over the box. I just don't see Intel releasing daul DMI 1155's. It doesn't make sense, but Intel confuses the hell out of me anyway with some of the stuff they do.

I did think for just a second about the X68 chipset but it seems just too far away to be showing boards with retail ready boxes.

Well if what is rumored and has been told to me, 1155 pretty much makes X58 a waist of money for gamers. For gaming use it will pretty much be "the platform" but it won't carry the enthusiast tag. The power draw is almost nothing, the efficiency is out of this world for single threaded stuff. The only limitation is PCI-E lanes for exotic VGA setups.
