I would avoid the Tyan Thunder K7 (the first dual Athlon motherboard) as it requires a non-standard powersupply. Other than that, I've only heard good things about dual Athlon systems. Note that there are two dual Athlon chipsets. The original 760MP, and the slightly newer 760MPX. I don't recall the differences off the top of my head, but a quick look through www.tomshardware.com or www.anandtech.com should tell you.
