I Xposted on suse-linux-e, and consensus seemed to place Tyan somewhere near the top, and Asus rock bottom. That's a shame about Asus since they are nice boards to work with :( Anyone else got a view on this?
Running an Asus A8N-SLI Delux that's working like a charm. Running Gentoo though. I tend to take most motherboard talks with a grain of salt.. too many people's opinions are based on one bad experience. I've had nothing but good experiences with Asus mobo's (a video card a few years ago is another story). I've got experience with opterons now on Asus, Tyan, HDAMA (rev F and G), VIA (I think It's VIA), HP's own, etc.. they're all about the same really. My experience in motherboards is that I've only had one actually fail on me.. and it was a Tyan. Of course I tend to upgrade my personal computers too often to see failures (other then hdd, fdd or CD drives). At work.. I'd say it's pretty even across the brands. -- Mike Marion-Unix SysAdmin/Staff Engineer-http://www.qualcomm.com Barbie of Borg - She doesn't just Assimilate, She Accessorizes too! -- Stolen from a /. post.
