Thanks for your help RawAlex... its denifetly a server board... i guess its a prototype or exclusive to google...

My bet would be that it is a special board made for google specifically for search or something... maybe the type of board used in their server clusters. It would seem to be specially made to communicate quickly to two sides of the world (one lan card to the cluster, one lan card to the world, perhaps) and the sata drives in a raid 0 raid 1 would likely be good for storing short term results / caching future pages. Tons of ram, tons of processing...
Could also be a "googlebot" board.
