So if someone is planning on using a crappy
motherboard as a server its not appropriate to
mention that the replacement is not suitable for
the task? So since you're replacing the MB, why
not take the opportunity to use something
suitable.

You're buying a motherboard that uses an
expensive CPU, supposedly for its performance,
yet you completely ignore the other components on
the MB that degrade the usefulness of the CPU. It
makes no sense.
