Dan3, "...won't make the SMP Athlon servers and workstations go away" While true, the Tyan/AMD problem will certainly delay the whole product line. I would not take those S. Sassens messages too lightly. What I see is most likely the result of a signal integrity problem which root cause was not understood by AMD. While a batch of reference boards may become reasonably functional after some random tweaks, in mass manufacturing the hidden problem will show up again, due to inevitable variances in manufacturing materials, processes, and components (sometimes being excused as "lower-quality components"). What I see is a striking similarity with the release of first Irongate 750 boards by MSI. This Tyan 760MP problem bodes well with my earlier line of reasoning, see: Message 15923406 - Ali
