It's not possible I'm afriad, the Mini-ITX spec only allows for one expansion slot. The two expansion slots can only be used if you have a Mini-DTX mainboard of which there arent any.

If you are meaning the Asus Rampage II Gene, then that is a micro ATX board - a bit bigger than a mini ITX board.

This board is very nice indeed and can run Core 2 Duo and Quad CPUs. This board has a single PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot, which is pretty much the best you can find for this board size.

There is a mini-itx x58 board?

The Asus Rampage II Gene is a micro ATX board.

There's a fair few mini-ITX boards by Zotac which have 775 sockets and are good for the best of those cpus including the quads.


*edit: I don't believe it. All my thunder stolen while I browsed Zotacs website :(
