Hop over to newegg, tyan makes a good one, and it won't cost you an arm & a leg.

one note, AMD does not officially support the XP series of CPU's in dualie configuration. The MP Athlon's are for multiple CPU platforms.

AMD recomended motherboards for the Athlon MP processor (http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_1278_6291^965^2340,00.html) Most programs and operating systems can not utilize two processors so unless you are running Win 2K server, Solaris or Unix you are wasting your money.
