Well, it's a little early yet but I have seen Woody running on the Tyan
Thunder K7 board with no probs to date. The price is the problem... and
that shows no sign of changing until there are other players in the Dual
Athlon business besides Tyan. Also, I would like to find a pinout diagram
of the PSU* for that board. It seems to me you could adapt 2 standard ATX
PSes to use on it... 

* this is a non-ATX 460W power supply for which I think there is only one
manufacturer.
