I have acquired a few Duron 800 from a friend of mine, I am wondering, is
there a dual Duron motherboard on this planet? If there is, has anyone
insane enough to have tried it?

I don't think Durons are MP capable. Athlon MPs are, and you could
tickle the older XPs with a conductive pen (dunno what they're called)
to draw in a track to make them MP capable too. I think they changed
the chip design so that's no longer possible, though.

Tyan Tiger 760mp... it doesnt officially, but it works.

It'll cost ~$400-500 and needs registered ECC, and generally doesnt
perform as well as two single CPU machines(which would also be cheaper
to build).

almost right... the Durons until ~>1200MHz are MP capable, just not
certified.
