Rikard, Generally, most of us stay away from Asus motherboards, not only for the problems but for their attitude toward Linux as well. There was an article just recently about that, so I think it probably give many a new disrespect for the brand.
Tyan always makes a good quality board. You pay for them, but I believe the quality is up to the cost. Also, you will get so much more cpu with the Opteron than any of the Intel cpus available.

Is that true even with the Intel Itanium? (Not that i have seen anything about them..) I know about the Asus attitude, but the board is the most suitable for my needs as far as i have been able to find out. It would be a shame if it wasnt 100% "Linux proof" as it seems to be a rather proficient card. (Attitude or no attitude) (I did look at a quad Xeon MP board, but thought of the world economy failing if i would buy such a card...) -- /Rikard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rikard Johnels email : rikjoh@norweb.se Web : http://www.rikjoh.com Mob : +46 735 05 51 01 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >
