I have an old Tyan Tiger 100 with dual PII 350's that runs my firewall |
| 21 |
and development webserver. Its a rock solid board and it's been doing |
| 22 |
it's job well since I bought it waaay back. As you say the power draw is |
| 23 |
more than I'd expect but that could just be due to using 2 very old and |
| 24 |
inefficient processors. |

I dream of the day when I can afford one of their dual opteron boards |
| 27 |
with dual addon daughterboard for 4-way quad cores :) |

| 30 |
chime in with my $0.02. |
