Well now I'm just going to have to mock you, because as you said the question has been asked and answered. Not surprisingly, the Intel person was correct. And you can guess, I am sure, the reason you can find no information on dual socket MBs for Core 2 Quad chips.

It's because... ready for this?... can you guess what's coming?... There is no such thing as a dual Core 2 Quad system. Only CPUs that use the 771 socket, such as Xeons and some Extremes, can go dual; socket 775 CPUs, such as Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo and Pentium 4, can not.
