You can do this with either Xeons or Opterons (and Itaniums but I dont think your going to buy one). You just need the right motherboard and CPU basicly

Yes this is possible! As stated above, you need a server motherboard such as this:

I've seen a motherboard on Newegg that can support up to 4 opties

That'd probably be the cheapest solution. But the mobo's are getting impossible to find, I know Tyan made one or two i think.
