Do not know about the K8S Tiger, but our Thunder K8S (S2880) has been pretty good so far as a Java application server. We are only using 2GB of memory, but most of the Tyan boards use the AMD chipset. Some are encountering memory recognition problems above 3GB with VIA chipsets. - Richard -----Original Message----- From: wam@mail.hiwaay.net [mailto:wam@mail.hiwaay.net]On Behalf Of William A. Mahaffey III Sent: Saturday, March 27, 2004 7:28 AM To: SuSE AMD 64 Mailing List Subject: [suse-amd64] Opteron Board preference .... .... I am getting close to trying to build an Opteron based machine as a compute node on my LAN, set up to run w/o monitor, keybd, mouse, & not a file server, just a (fast) CPU & lots of RAM. I have narrowed down to either ASUS SK8V or TYAN Tomcat K8S (both available @ newegg.com). Does anyone have any strong (preferably firsthand :-)) opinions, yea or nay, about either of these boards ?
