The MPX chipset from AMD is somewhat better than the earlier
MP versions but yes, it only goes up to the DDR-2100 memory
speed.

Hmmm, the Tyan 2466-4M I ordered supports up to the current
newest MP cpu (2800+). Is there a newer Athlon-MP out already?
For video encoding where filtering (such as yuvdenoise or
yuvmedianfilter) is being used the 2nd cpu is amazingly effective.
Two cpus are better than one in many cases even if the chipset is
not the latest/fastest. A dual Athlon-MP is also a *lot*
cheaper than a dual P4/Xeon (I know - I have one of those too ;))
and from what I've seen every bit as fast (or slightly faster).
