I take it you have the CPUs already? Because as a former dual-P3 owner (twice!), I would take an AthlonXP 2500+ any day. Don't spend more on this than it's worth.
Also check your P3 steppings carefully, there are several fun pitfalls for the people who don't do their research on P3's.
This bad boy still sells for about the price of a normal Socket 939 board. IT has rave reviews, and is perhaps one of the best non-server oriented PIII dual boards. IMO I would purchase that one.
BTW... Need two matching PIII 1GHz cpus I'll sell em cheap
Perhaps, but having a dually just has something cool about it. I can completely feel for this guy. I own 2 Dually PIII machines, 1 dually 366 celeron (@550), 1 dually PII, and one dually Pentium Pro. They make excellent servers, I actually benchmarked Apache on three different and when concurrency of the connections rose, My dual PPro 200 was faster than a single Athlon XP 2600+ http://www.auctionspice.com/misc/apachebench.xls <--linky
Granted these are Benchmarks not real world.... but we thrive on Benches here right?
Bottom line. Duallies = cool no matter what speed. (IMO)
I had a bunch of these boards(four at one point) running for the Anandtech Seti@Home team a few years back; excellent board, had no problems whatsoever.
