Joe - Re: "Are their chipsets available in any motherboards that you can readily buy from for example Asus, Tyan etc?"

Not that I know of.

Their Chip Sets are generally targeted at multi-processor systems (SMP) - and as such HP, Dell, IBM are using them for their newer workstations and 4-way servers where 133 MHz SDRAM is required.

Jozef, <Are their chipsets available in any motherboards that you can readily buy from for example Asus, Tyan etc?>

While building my friend's 810 system, I checked the Supermicro web site. On the site, I saw server motherboards featuring chipsets from ServerWorks. Here's one using ServerWorks' Enterprise ServerSet III HE chipset:

supermicro.com

So if you want to build your very own 4-way Xeon server (for those really heavy-duty home LANs), now you know where to buy the motherboard for such a server. ;-)
