I've a PPro-200MHz/256kb sitting in waiting to be my second NetBSD
development box.  It'll only have 82 MB of RAM, but otherwise I should
be able to compare it with my P-II 300MHz for CPU throughput....  I got
it, the memory, a 2GB disk, and the motherboard it's plugged into all
for 1/3 the price of the rack-mount chassis and PS that they're all
mounted in!  :-)

It's not a dual-processor board though.

If I can find one of the intel made ones, or if I get a chance to pick
up a multi-CPU PPro Compaq, HP, DELL, IBM, or other server, (for a
decent low-end price) I certainly will.
