As far as I know, this is supposed to work with little or no problems for AMD64bit. (i.e. Suse 9.0 supports the 9600 series)
Currently I have the following system running: Thunder K8W + 2x 244's + 4Gb of DDR400 + Twin SATA HDDs Booted of the patch disk and everything is ran smoothly first time... except the graphics driver which does not give 3D support.
Now before I go and flash the BIOS or start running diagnostics, is there something I am missing?
I'm not sure how much of a problem this would be but.... You are running Opteron 244's, which I think do not support DDR400 speed memory. Now DDR400 is backward compatible to DDR333 so that in itself shouldn't be a problem, but I have observed (by snooping in the DRAM controller registers) that the Tyan 1.01 BIOS will program the DRAM controller for 400 Mhz regardless. I observed this with Opteron 240 on a Tyan s2885, BTW. Unfortunately, this BIOS doesn't allow you to specify DRAM timings. :-( My solution (after wasting some time trying to change the registers on an already booted system) was to upgrade to 246's, so I never really knew whether this would be a problem or not. Still, I think the BIOS should observe the limitations of the processor.
Thanks,
