Dual-CPU modules?  So you can four, or do you mean a pair of CPU's?  If 
the former, the ross 2x100MHz are nice, but a pair of 'em (4CPU's) runs 
hot, IMO.  My favorite config, if you have the PROM to support it, is a 
pair of the SM-71's (75MHz SuperSPARC II's). They run well, reasonably 
cool, and have 1M of cache each.  They make for a nice box.  If not, got 
for the 60MHz modules, they are also good.
