no, you didn't say "Xeon". But the P4's are not SMP capable. So you must be talking about Xeon's. Now, the IBM does make a 1U dual xeon, and with HyperThreading turned on it will look like a quad to the OS.
I'm not sure I would have choosen that motherboard for this task. There have been quite a few [forums.2cpu.com] people that have actually had the ATX Connector melt and burn out on them. It seems to be related to the fact that the TigerMP (2460) does not have a seperate 5/12v aux. header that most other dual AMD's have. So it ends up pulling all the juice it needs from ATX connector and melts it. High powered CPU's and PCI cards drawing off the 5v rail cause this most often, and these boards have 2 x 1500 MP's and 3 x 3Ware RAID cards. (The RAID cards should be running at 3.3v though) I personally have 3 of the TigerMP's and plan on replacing them very soon for this reason.
From what i have seen there is at least one dual pIII board out there that takes DDR: http://supermicro.com/PRODUCT/MotherBoards/VIA/P3T DDR.htm if you wanted to go the VIA Route
Actually the P4 core is really terrible at RC5. See here: http://n0cgi.distributed.net/speed/query.cgi?cputy pe=all&arch=0&contest=rc5 There is something about the core missing a 'hardware based rotate function' from what i have gathered.
i know this is all fine and well, but who really wants to change to a different format if they have to completely re-encode their entire mp3 collection?

Disable the router from serving DHCP.
Assign yourself static addresses.
Shouldn't we be able to see some kind of impacts from the craft bouncing along the surface? Or would wind have destroyed them already?

As far as i knew, the smallest Quad Xeon box IBM makes is 3U
