Hi folks, Anyone using anything other than Tyan mainboards for dual-AMD cluster systems? Anyone with happy/unhappy motherboard related issues with AMD-based systems? I've got a client who is looking at a bunch of vendor proposals for 2.8ghz dual-Xeon cluster systems and several for dual Athlon MP2600+ systems. One vendor is even quoting MP2800+ cpus which do not seem to be officially released yet in volume from AMD. heh. Personally I've never had problems with Tyan but the customer has had Tyan-related mainboard issues in the past and in general seems to feel a slight sense of unease in that 100% of the Athlon-based proposals so far are using Tyan boards. They are wondering if there are any serious non-Tyan mainboards available that are suitable for dual-AMD use in a technical computing environment. I'm guessing choice is pretty limited. What are people here using? Any recommendations? Are the current generation dual-AMD server boards from Tyan giving anyone problems? Booards that I've seen in some the proposals: Compute nodes: (Tyan S2722) & (Tyan S2466N-4M) Head nodes : (Tyan S2469) & (Tyan S2466N-4M) Regards, Chris -- Chris Dagdigian, <dag@sonsorol.org> BioTeam Inc. - Independent Bio-IT & Informatics consulting Office: 617-666-6454, Mobile: 617-877-5498, Fax: 425-699-0193 PGP KeyID: 83D4310E Yahoo IM: craffi Web: http://bioteam.net
