For the Intel based mpc's they are not much more than a 
single cpu system.  Here are two machines:
   
   1.  VTech Platinum 486DX2/66 Dual
          2 i486DX2/66 processors
          Pentium ready
          SCSI-2 on board
          256K cache
          16 Mbyte of RAM
          2X CDROM
          527 Mbyte hard disk
          15" monitor
          and others
              $3,799
   
   2. Ambra (of IBM) Dual Pentium 
          Last time I check it was $4,800  
          (I believe it has only one Pentium for this price, but...)

 
You can find their ads from PC Mag or ComputerShopper.
