Stay away from Intel. This should be obvious for a number of reasons.
Not least because AFAIK their AMD64 clone lacks an NX bit.
Tyan and RioWorks both make server class multiprocessor AMD64 motherboards.
Although I haven't used RioWorks, I would advise people to stay away
from Tyan stuff if possible.
