Along with a more expensive motherboard and RAM, it's not exactly a cost-effective solution.

It might run in a desktop motherboard, but none explicitely support Xeons. None that I know of at any rate. And if you grab a server board, I think you need buffered RAM, which is both more expensive and slower.
