PC motherboards have been static for decades now. But has Apple upset the applecart? The motherboard inside the new Mac Pro looks to be a masterpiece of design. Will PC manufacturers take note and copy adapt it?

For me the key features are the RAM slots moved to the underside (an optimisation obvious in hindsight), the ducted air cooling (of all components, not just the CPU), and the repositioning of the CPU.
