The AthlonMP platform is, in general, the best performing dual processor server x86 platform available (and much cheaper than dual Xeons) The Tyan Thunder requires a custom (expensive) power supply, and it supports only 66MHz (not 64-bit) PCI slots, so you may want to hold off a little while until MBs hased on the new 760MP arrive--they can use standard (still expensive) server class power supplies and will support 64-bit/66MHz PCI as well.
