Why not look for a proper industrial PC solution?  You get the CPU(s) on
one card that plugs into a backplane that can have numerous PCI or ISA
slots.  A single fast P4 solution would be much easier to source, and of
course faster.  If you want to stick with the P3 for whatever reason
dual CPU cards for them are still available.  The big bonus is thata
there are hundreds of vendors of these systems and parts that can build
a system exactly to your requirements.
