The Best AGP Dual CPU based Motherboard up to date

Date of Review:  Jul 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: For an AGP-based system, it's the best dual-cpu motherboard -- no competition. Well, maybe one...read to find out.
Review: The Tyan Thunder S2885ANRF is quite a unique motherboard designed with a workstation/server application in mind. With a price tag of $400 currently available online, this motherboard is but for a serious application. It features a dual 940-pin...

Expensive, but full featured

Date of Review:  Apr 19, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you need speed and features, this is the one. If you need PCI slots, perhaps not.
Review: If you want a dual-Opteron system for a workstation, and you need AGP graphics this is worth looking at. My system has dual Opteron 240s with 2Gb DDR400Mhz memory, and two SATA Raptor 76Gb disks. I chose this board as the MSI offerings seemed to...
