Tyan has released a dual Athlon motherboard. According to Pricewatch you
can get the board with *two* 1.2 GHz Athlon MP CPU's for just over 1000USD.
The motherboard has onboard Ultra 160 SCSI (Adaptec AIC-7899W) controller
and dual onboard Ethernet controllers (3Com 3C920's). Full specs at

I'm saving up. :)
