Since others have done so, I'll throw in my vote of confidence for Tyan. I've |
| 7 |
not used those specific motherboard models, but Tyan has above-average Linux |
| 8 |
support and the product I bought from them has performed as advertised or |
| 9 |
better. The integrated peripherals (isn't that an oxymoron?) are |
| 10 |
well-supported in linux. |

I am happily running Gentoo amd64 on the system and have been since the middle |
| 13 |
of 2005, with few complaints. [That said, there are disadvantage to running |
| 14 |
a 64-bit userland, still.] |

My next motherboard purchase will almost certainly be Tyan; I'll never go back |
| 17 |
to 32-bit land. |

I haven't had any experience with these processors. |
