What about the ASUS P2B-DS (dual with SCSI), ~~$450USD?

(or -D without SCSI)

These are supposed to do PIII's.  I think there's also an XLG-DS that'll do
Slot 2 CPU's, but I haven't seen one yet.  I've got at least eight of the
P2B-DS's and they work _great_ with PII's, and I don't have any reason to
think that they would be different with PIII's.

You'll find prices increasing rapidly as you proceed into quad territory.
