![]() That's interesting. I've never heard or seen something like that before. What is it exactly?...a mini motherboard that works like a PCI card?

With that massive interface connector at the bottom of the mobo I'll take a leap and guess its for parallel computing. You get a bunch of these badboys in a cluster into 1 custom tower the size of a telephone booth and you have yourself an infantile super computer.
Actually I see I'm now wrong. Just wikipedia it for your answer. Watch as some n00b who knew nothing about this before googling it a few moments earlier, tries to beat me down and act like some know-it-all who knew what CPU cards were all along.

Never heard of them before, I would have thought they would be for mainframes perhaps, Im curious as to how they would work as I cant the the bandwidth on a PCI-E16 slot having enough bandwidth for a C2D...

they are intended for server expansion, they are useless for home machines.

Generally, the machines I've seen those in tend to be filled with BUS slots. The last time I saw one, the machine had 6 PCI slots and at least 12 ISA slots. You put the motherboard on a PCI card, plug it into oneof those slots, and it will interface with the rest of the bus through that.
Basically, it's a means of getting a tonne of devices plugged into a single box in a rack without getting too specialized. In my case, it was used in a telco with a bunch of relay cards. Kinda cool, but for home computing and even for most server usage, it's not really needed.
