I have 3 dual Intel-based Tyan motherboards here at work and they have not proven to be very good choice to base a system on. Their performance is poor compared to like boards from Intel and Supermicro using the same cpu base. I have since steered away from Tyan components and there has been one failure. There has not been good relations with Tyan's tech support either. This is a personal experiance. Perhaps yours is better.
I started using Tyan motherboards a while back. Well, about the time when the S1564 was hot. Bought a single CPU model, and it ran and ran and ran.... Actually it still runs quite nicely, although it isn't fast by todays standards. Since then I've had two more tyan systems, The one I mentioned, and a S1564d that I used for a firewall/proxy/router for a long time. Perhaps they aren't the fastest, but I've not had "mechanical" problems with any of them.
