So I finally received this beauty today:
Pro266TD Master-LR.jpg
MSI MS-9105, aka the Pro266TD Master-LR. Dual Tualatins + AGP + LAN + RAID + DDR RAM (I know...).
It came with two 1133 MHz P3-S Tualatins that were immediately replaced with a pair of SL5XLs (P3-S 1400 MHz, aka "The King").
Now I need a worthy case (preferably Lian Li full aluminium) to accomodate it, and I still have to decide on the other parts for the build. Probably a GF4 Ti4200 that I already have, and a Terratec DMX 6fire 24/96 sound card (or some Audigy model). It's tempting to throw in the Voodoo 5 5500, but that would work best with Win98, which cant't make use of the dual CPUs. A period correct choice would be a GeForce 3, but I don't own one and while the Ti 200 can be had rather cheap, the Ti 500s are pretty expensive.
(Edit: By the way, the only thing that is downright awful about this board is the placement of the capacitors next to the CPU sockets. It significantly narrows down the choice of CPU coolers and makes their installation "adventuresome", to say the least.)
A nice find that I expect to arrive within the next few days was this EpoX EP-7KXA, paired with a 550 MHz Athlon:

I spotted it as part of these "hey I have this box full of old computer parts, come and pick'em up for free before I take everything to the scrapper" listings on eBay classifieds.
Fortunately the guy was kind enough to send this particular board + CPU so I was able to get it for the cost of shipping, now I just hope it still works 😀
And a few days ago, I was able to find the SB Audigy2 complete with the Live Drive front panel and all cables in good condition for a decent price, which will probably make its way into my Athlon XP3200+ / Radeon 9800 Pro build:
