You can get Xeon quad processors (5300 series)
Tyan has boards with dual slots, socket 771
Depends on your requirements

You can ONLY use Xeon quad-core CPU's and a motherboard that supports Xeon
processors. Core 2 Duo QUAD Core CPU's cannot be used with two CPU's
together.

As I wrote before you need a MB with socket 771 for Xeon 5300 series
Tyan has some boards called Tempest

Some even comes with a PCI-E x16 socket if you need it for desktop usage
You can also get a Intel Wokstation Board with socket 771 and PCI-E x16
