Assuming they use a 3 slot graphics card, that still leaves like....3 more slots or so o.o

That is what people with retarded amounts of cash they don't mind throwing away do with those boards (or you're just a really sob and someone gifted it to you).  Quad SLI/Xfire!

Seems overkill for me. But Wi-Fi card, one of those blazing fast PCI SSD card, sound card or something.

I don't know, just seems overkill, I am extremely happy with just one video card lol.

Welcome to 2010.

Even if you did want a 2P workstation, you'd want Sandy Bridge-E, not Gulftown.  Or rather, their Xeon equivalents.  And that's assuming it can even take Gulftown; the Xeon 5520 that the link refers to is Bloomfield.  In that case, welcome to 2008.

Flagship motherboards serve two purposes:

1)  Something to buy for the extreme big-budget people who want top of the line everything, whether it matters or not, and for whom too much is never enough.

2)  To attract fawning reviews from tech review sites who are happy to see that the motherboard has everything, and the only problem is the price tag.  The hope is that readers who see that brand X has a great high-end motherboard will figure that the $60 motherboard from brand X must also be great and then buy it.
