Some site has reviewed the Tyan 760MP mobo but I don't remember who. It's probably in our news somewhere.

Agreed ... Sad Smile

... looking at Intel based solutions ... if you're interested, there's a Intel OR840 (i840) vs. Iwill DVD266-R (Apollo Pro 266) vs. MSI 694D Pro (Apollo Pro 133A) vs. Tyan Thunder HEsl (ServerSet III HEsl) thing over at : http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1414

I hope the dual athlon mobos have independantly adjustable multipliers. Gone are the days of being forced to get same speed processors. Just get two proc's that run at the same speed and BAM your done.

That's cause it's designed for a server, with On-board SCSI controller dual NIC cards and stuff.

i wouldn't mind have that stuff on board, yes you can't upgrade but you could still have a kickass rig! However...

if that where the price, the mobo would be worth about the same as my computer right now[:0] Dissapprove Smile

Investigating this one...

Think it's AMD, but maybe Intel. Going to try to give IWill a call tomorrow to ask them about it.
