I'm looking at upgrading one of our workstations, which currently has an AMD Athlon 1200 CPU on an Asus A7V133 motherboard with 1GB RAM.
Motherboard: Tyan Tiger S2466N CPUs: Dual Athlon MP 2800+ "Barton" Memory: 2 x 512MB Crucial DDR PC2100 CL=2.5 ECC Registered
The above five items would fit just fine into the existing case, and would cost about $800 US. The mobo is listed in SuSE's Hardware Database with "Full" support, so I don't think I'll have any issues there. I expect I could get away with no reinstall, too.
What I am curious about is if anyone has had experience with this board? Any other comments regarding this proposed kit, and not relevant to April Fool's day, please :-) would also be appreciated.
Yes, Running two of them here. Both MB's are the 2466N-4M. One with the 2800+ cpus you mention, and the older one has a pair of 1600+. I ran the system with an adaptec 29160 for quite a while with 4 10000 fujitsu hard drives. Make sure you get good cpu fans for this setup as the amd's tend to run a bit hot.
