As things stand, the Foxconn Mars is merely a decent P35 motherboard with dual graphics slots. As such the estimated price tag is slightly too high for comfort. However, if Foxconn can find the missing performance, we'll be happy to reappraise the Mars.
NB
Foxconn has been in touch and we are happy to point out that faster bus speeds, as per the screenshot from the press release below, would have been achieved had we chosen to lower the multiplier. Of course, in all such scenarios, depending on your exact hardware, it's a classic case of 'your mileage may vary'.
