dude share some of your money with me DUAL GIG chips crap man Im lucky if i can buy a happy meal at mcdonalds let alone computer hardware.
There are not a lot of boards out there to choose from. I have the Tyan Thunder 2400 i840 chipset, it supports dual 1 gig cpus but I'm not sure if Tyan is making it anymore. I would wait for the new chipsets to come out from intel, don't know when that will be. There are not a lot of dual mb that support i gig cpus, these boards are not real feature rich but more made for the corporate server market.
My specs are below,

My m8 is running the Tyan tiger 133, which supports 1ghz P3's.
Alas he is having some trouble with compatibility with the gefs.
All other cards except for them
Which is a shame, well sort of, he sent me his gef coz it wouldn't work in his, which was jolly decent of him
