Not looked at the AMD CPU options on this board for a while now.

Not really got a clue about the differences either.
Can anyoone advise me on which CPU's this board will actually support.

Ta.

Running two XP1800+'s right now.

I've used two of those boards. The first one I did
with a pair of Durons and later upgraded to XP 1800+'s.
The second one I did with a pair of 1600+'s. Both were
recently upgraded to MP2200+'s. I've also done the
same thing with a couple of Tyan boards.

Looks good then.
I may well go for 2 x 2400 XP's.

Before you do, you need to be aware that once upon a time
the XP's didn't have anything stopping you from using them
in pairs, but now they do. The transition point was the
XP1900+ - lower speeds are not locked, higher speeds are,
and those that are right on the 1900+ line might or might
not be.

There are articles out there that tell how you can unlock
newer XP's so that you can use them in pairs. The first
place I would look would be 2cpu.com - and as always tools
like Google are helpful.
 
Just what I wanted to hear, thanks Rob.
