At work we're having good results with an Intel N440BX
motherboard. It's a dual cpu board, running 2 PIII 500's like a champ. It
also has the ability to redirect all console output (like boot/bios
messages, etc.) to a serial console. It comes with a built in Etherexpress
Pro 100+ as well.
I have an Asus P2B at home that I've run my Celeron 300A
overclocked to 450 since the first of the year with no problems (and BIG
fans).
HTH,
Doug
