The Best AGP Dual CPU based Motherboard up to date

by paulphoto , Jul 8, 2006
Pros: Super fast and stable, Dual-core ready, PCI-X, PCI, AGP 8x PRO, Great hardware/Software compatibility-and-support
Cons: No USB2.0; uses USB1.1
The Bottom Line: For an AGP-based system, it's the best dual-cpu motherboard -- no competition. Well, maybe one...read to find out.
This reviewer recommends this product.

Nice board, TERRIBLE customer support

by rmnep , May 7, 2004
Pros: Lots of RAM. Lots of extras. 3 PCI buses.
Cons: No USB-2. SATA is on 33MHz bus (slow). AGP problems. TERRIBLE product support from Tyan.

This reviewer does not recommend this product.
