So if I go with an LGA-1366 socket there are alot of options for dual cpu mobos:

I want to build a dual cpu setup and have found that LGA 1366 is the way to go (until new SB cpus come out).
What to get and not to get....Im coming from a i7 2600K@4.5GHz so I want a dual setup that will trump this.

My dillema is understanding the hierarchy of all these cpus:

Xeon:
Bloomfield
W35xx (not sure if they can be in dual cpu config)
Gainestown
E55xx
W55xx
X55xx
L55xx
Jasper Forest
EC35xx
EC55xx
Gulftown
W36xx (single cpu only I think)
Westmere-EP
E56xx
X56xx

Core i7 (not sure if they can be in dual cpu config)
Bloomfield
i7 9xx
Gulftown
i7 9xx

:o  Help....

...and thnx.
