I just built a new SMP system using a SuperMicro board with the ServerWorks chipset, dual 800's 133 bus. Works perfect for me, one note, only ECC is supported on these boards and most sites don't make that clear before ordereing the board.

ASUS has this board: http://www.asus.com.tw/products/motherboard/pentiumpro/cur-dls/index.html anyone try it out/look at it?
