I run mostly Tyan AMD boards including Dual and single CPU Opteron boards. They have worked very well. I have also used Tyan and Gigabyte Dual Athlon with AMD chipsets and they have been great. 24/7/365xmultiple years of operation on the Athlon MP and 1.3 years on a dual Opteron. The single CPU opterons are not that old...
