Keep in mind the 7895 is dual channel ultrawide, not Ultra2. There are
other MBs out there with the 7890 that does Ultra2.
If Tyan had put the 7890 on the thunder/tiger 100 instead of the 7895
it would be the MB of choice, IMHO.
I have a Tyan Tiger 100 (BX) S1832 (i think) that I ran linux SMP under
with no problems. I am now running FreeBSD with that system because
fbsd's scsi support is superior.
