I haven't seen any other replies, so here goes.
You should have no problem using the 860 chipset AFAIK [but I don't have such a system :( ].
There are still some issues with interrupt balancing on SMP P4 systems. Last I heard, all interrupts will be routed to one CPU instead of [mostly] balanced between them (until this is fixed/patched).
