IBM does a twin Xeon box (Intellistation M Pro w/2 Prestonia at 2.2Ghz for
example) and I can personally confirm that RedHat 7.2 and SuSE 7.3 go like
a rocket on it! Didn't get a chance to turn on the HyperThreading support
to see what would happen but that's life.

It's a complete package system so obviously not what you are after but at
least I can confirm that it all works...

I'm drooling at the mental picture of a multi-cpu xeon-based
machine....  I have a source for some xeon CPUs at about 600 MHz

Where can I find a system board to suit several of these?

Do they need special PSUs?  (probably depends on the board and the
number of CPUs)

What is SWTX as a board form-factor?

Probably most importantly, how well would linux run on a SMP xeon?
