I know that this may not be useful information if somebody has already decided to build a PC anyway but the reason why I didn't experiment building a new dual cpu PC (I was almost going to) just that you have to put lots of money to the parts and still not be sure if it will work or not. So I went the mac way. Interesting to see that Merlot is moving away from mac. Of course a PC can be very powerful and joy to use too if you know the parts which work together and have good experience in keeping windows xp clean.
But if you're gonna build a new PC, maybe an X2 dualcore Athlon64 might be a good processor choice. I don't know about the new motherboards so I cannot recommend any at this time.
