Not surprising. Traditionally, Apple has designed its own motherboards, but they didn't have time to in order to release the MacPro line this year, so they used Intel's designs. It's interesting to note that Apple actually uses a more powerfull MB design in the older G5 high-end macs,, but no currently available Intel CPU runs fast enough to handle it. Conversely, Intel could release a CPU that can handle the faster bus speed, but they haven't, yet. My money is on that one: Intel will release a 2:1 clockable CPU that works with Apple's motherboards, and in exchange for that Apple helps Intel design generic motherboards that can handle the new CPU. However, Apple gets to uses those motherboards *first* so it can regain its "fastest workstation" image.
