I am 100% sure that Ivy Bridge (IVB) will not be LGA2011 because IVB CPUs are backwards compatible with existing LGA-1155 motherboards (which was confirmed at IDF 2011):

I thought you meant it was 2011. Nevermind.

damn i was hoping the board would have 8 ram slots since its quad channel (4 or 8 slots make sense) and this is a high end board.

Oh well im really waiting for the dual socket one anyways

16GB (2x8GB modules) dual channel kits are already out, so it's only a matter of time before the 32GB quad-channel ones are.....unless you want even more ram?

i wonder how the price of 8x 4GB sticks would compare to 4x 8GB sticks though?

Also is usually cheaper/easier and you get better timings/speed on lower density sticks
