Hmm, we have two dual Pentium IV systems here in our lab, and they are
available to the public (atleast SuperMicro & Tyan makes them). This is however
Pentium IV Xeon chips (i.e not plain Pentium IV) and they use the Intel 860
chipset. I've not seen any problems yet with these system (using RedHat 7.1
with 2.4.3-12smp kernel).
