and what's the price range?
I'm talking about P 4 compatability with maximum Memory and IDE possible
P4's currently arent SMP capable, but intel have dropped the price on their Xeons quite considerably.
IWILL make about the best "value" dual xeon board (DPL533) which is based on the Intel placer chipset(dual channel DDR).
Its about £320 (take a look on Iwills site for a list of UK resellers) - coupled with 2x 2.8 / 533 FSB Xeons + a gig of ram you looking at about £1100 if you shop around.
Not cheap, but if you want the best..... 
Dual AMD are a far cheaper alterantive and offer good performance, but the MPX chipset is getting a bit long in the tooth and afaik AMD have no plans on updating their smp products until the hammer cpus come out.
