Greetings, I am in the course of building a dual p3 system. What I've got now is a TYAN 1832 dual processor board, specs are at http://www.tyan.com/products/html/tiger100_p.html. It uses the Intel 440BX AGPset, and is the same board that VALinux uses in their dual processor system, specs at http://www.valinux.com/systems/productinfo.html?product=mp. I haven't got dual processors in it yet (waiting for $$$), but the price isn't bad (http://www.pricewatch.com has the low price at $125). I picked mine up from an ebay auction from a wholesaler that was overstocked. I suggest starting from this and add what you want.
Have fun!
