Note that the Via kt266a (_not_ SMP chipset) is quite good these days. If I was building a dual-processor machine, there's no doubt I'd go for an Athlon system at the moment. For a quad-processor machine, I'd look much more closely at the P3 Xeon chip (the P4 Xeon has no 4-processor motherboards afaik). ObMySQL: Make sure you are CPU-limited before considering SMP machines. If you are hard drive limited, you aren't likely to see any advantage going for more CPUs.
