Looks like IBM back on the AMD bandwagon boards.fool.com The ad is from IBM canada - large white-on-blue fonts, the IBM logo in the top-right corner of the page. On the bottom is the URL to the IBM Canada store - www.ibm.ca/store. Also included on the bottom-right side of the page is a phone number - 1-800-267-9077. The AMD machines are designated "NetVista A40i (48U)", "NetVista A40i (57U)", and "NetVista A40i (52U)" for the Duron, 1.0ghz Athlon, and 1.1ghz Athlon respectively.

AMD needs to recall the entire platform, or risk damaging its reputation so badly that it may be impossible to recover. As for Tyan, in either case, Tyan needs a serious reality check as well. If the fault is theirs, then the ball is in Tyan’s court, and they need to step up and take action. If the fault is AMD’s, and Tyan’s board is as good as 760MP boards will ever get, then Tyan should have said NO in the first place. Whoever’s fault, Tyan should NOT be selling a board like this to it’s customers, branded as a workstation/server board. If it's the fault of a third-party component, then I would think it would be in Tyan's, and especially AMD's best interests to determine exactly what that component is.
