unless you feel the need for 3 full 16x lanes there is no reason for the p6t7 IMO.  I'm pretty sure any x58 (at least enthusiast class) will take the 1366 Xeons even if they aren't officially supported.  But then again I don't see the need for the USB 3.0 and SATA 6 gb/s either right now, nothing really available that I know of for usb 3 and not need yet for stat 6 gb/s

Stay away from NF200 crap. All of the boards support Xeon CPUs as well.
