Default Dual XP Motherboard

I've got 2 XP2200+ lying here and was wondering that kind of mobo would be qualified to handle both

was looking into the MSI K7D-MASTER-L (priced around €200)

any other alternatives?

64-bit PCI slots, and games do have an (veeery little) advantage, windows running in the background won't slow it down as much anymore.

It's really too bad nVidia or via never came up with a good dual AMD chipset. the AMD chipset is just too flawed.

Slow memory bandwith...

Gaming on a dually doesn't go better , the agp is slow, in most game benches duals suck
