Dual Opteron is a different beast.  Make sure it is AMD chipset, as that is
currently the only chipset that offers local memory banks to both CPUs
(substantial performance hit without it. The Arima boards are decent, and
the MSI AMD chipset board is not too bad.  If you need AGP, Tyan s2885 is
your only option right now, rioworks and iwill boards are not yet shipping.
And the NForce 3 250 boards are not either.  The Tyan board will require
some work, but should be decent over all (AGP issues should be worked out
VERY soon, large memory I will look into).
