Opinions on Which Dual Opteron Board To Use?
I have narrowed down my motherboard options for a Dual Opteron linux
system to: Tyan Thunder K8W S2885ANRF Rioworks ARIMA HDAMC (the place I want to buy it from does not offer the Tiger K8W board) I'll be doing large floating point calculations. The Rioworks board is $119 more than the Tyan. Any opinions as to which may be better (i.e., faster if at all) or why the Rioworks is worth the extra $$? Thanks - John Hinkey |

I have the HDAMB board with a pair of 246s, and am very happy with it. It appears the big differences are PCI (no PCI-X on the HDAMB), and different LAN and SATA controllers. If you don't need the 64-bit PCI, you can save almost $200... |
