I personally prefer Tyan's Tomcat motherboards. They're cheap, pretty fast
and stable. The only thing I don't like about the Tomcats is that they are
a little long and the SIMM slots are arranged in an inconvenient way. Kind
of hard to stuff in a minitower case.

Regardless, the Tomcats have dual cpu support, support for up to 512mb
RAM, an upgradeable BIOS and many other useful features. I got the Tomcat
II dual CPU motherboard from ASA Computers (www.asacomputers.com) for
around $225. Very reasonable.
