Jim,

Most of the critical timing signals on a motherboard are located right next to the CPU, i.e. the memory bus and AGP4X. If you tried lengthening the memory bus by about 8 inches (thereby doubling the size of the motherboard) you might have some "minor" timing problems.

Jim, re: twice as large you say?
First of all, that demo board was never intended for production. It was a "reference" design. And the fact a mother board that size worked well and scored very good bench mark results speaks ton's about what production boards will do.
