I remember this Pentium 4 board. It allowed 2 processors. It even allowed Pentium D's. I forgot the name though. What is it?

Pentium D is Socket 775 only so that leaves just a few boards with AGP support and I don't think any of them have multiple processor sockets. Multiple sockets was always enthusiast/workstation/server grade and nobody in that segment would have still bothered with AGP when PCIe was already out.
Sorry, I don't think the board you're describing exists.😐

Perhaps a dual 771 board?

There is a mod that lets you install 771 chips in 775 sockets. Maybe the reverse is possible?

LGA771 was too new for any AGP implementation. Two CPUs with AGP were strictly in Socket 603/604 motherboard territory. As for 2 cores support - plenty of S775/i865 motherboards support Pentium D or Core 2.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

SMP isn't possible with P4, it's explicitly disabled on those CPUs.

Sure you're not thinking of a (Netburst) Xeon board? With i860 or E7205 chipset it would have AGP.

Oops, sorry. I didn't mean AGP. However the other things I described are true.

Are you sure you aren't thinking of the Intel Skulltrail setup?

It is still LGA771, but was not a server setup.

I'm not finding any reference to any dual LGA775
setups and, as others have already stated, LGA775 CPUs were not dual socket capable.

Yeah, Socket 604 or LGA771. Both had some Xeons which are direct Pentium D counterpart.

Hmmm not a lot to go on can you think of anything else ?

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

Were there 604 to 478 adapters?

Could you just bga a p4 onto a 604?
