I've heard that ASUS would be releasing a dual processor board for the
Athlon, but I haven't seen anything official. I myself am planning to
build an Athlon 700 system this summer, and I've been watching the reviews
at www.anandtech.com
The board that I'm most impressed with at this point is the Abit KA7. It
has 6 pci slots (something that has been lacking in the most stable
boards), 4 Dimm slots supporting up to 2 GB of RAM, 2x / 4x AGP port, 4 USB
ports, UDMA 66 and I believe they will be offering a version later this
summer that also supports the new UDMA 100 when it's available.
Check out these links for more info:

The second link is more a review about overclockability, which I don't know
if you're interested, but this seems to be the only area where the abit
board doesn't rate as high. I include it for reference.
Whatever you end up working with, let me know the outcome, k?
