Toms Hardware (http://www6.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20040521/index.html) pits Six Dual Xeon Motherboards against each other.

Toms also has some thoughts on Dual Xeon vs single P4 EE (http://www6.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20040514/index.html)

A mainstream platform with lots of gigahertz that is based on a relatively-pricey Intel P4 or AMD Athlon64 doesn't always guarantee enough performance for professional-use applications such as CAD or OpenGL. These professional applications also demand enormous computing resources. The smarter choice is a dual-processor platform which, as we previously demonstrated in our introductory article Two Xeon CPUs Are Better Than One Intel P4 Extreme Platform (http://www6.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20040514/index.html), offers the requisite performance. Here, we look at and compare six dual Xeon motherboards and offer tips for choosing the right cooler and form factor.
