Tyan also has a Tomcat II board which is a dual Pentium processor board.
However there seem to be some problems with 512kb cache under moderate load
using dual processors.  They are working on it but I have not heard of a
solution (the price is ~$300).  Other people seem satisfied with thier other
boards but I would want to make sure the tyan board works I'd buy.  I've
been waiting all summer for a report that this problem had been resolved.
