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. Thanks for the feedback.

I want to put together an "EXTREMELY" fast system with a minimum of 2 - 2.6GHz + Xeons or Athlons and a U320 or U160 SCSI hard drive(s) and 2 Gig or more of memory. I need to know if there is a dual cpu motherboard that SuSE 8.2 Professional will run on of this calibre.
Can anyone tell me if any of the motherboards in this list will work?
For Xeon CPUs... Asus PC-DL Deluxe Asus PR-DLSW Intel SE7505VB2 Supermicro X5DA8 Supermicro P4DP6-Q Supermicro P4DC6+ Supermicro X5DAL-G
For AMD CPUs... GigaByte GA-7DPXDW-P MSI K7D Master MPX
I can say anything about those, but my Tyan S2460 with a pair of 1600+ MP processors works quite nicely. 1 gig of ram, and all SCSI components is nice too. I think the 2469 or even the 2462 will hold up to what you want.
