    Tyan K8S Pro (S2882-D) Dual core supported?

    I am using this for my NASLite-M2 x64 system... The more the better as I really notice an improvement in transfer speeds having upgraded the NAS from a Intel PIII 600 MHz with 1.5GB of ram to this Dual CPU motherboard with 12GB of RAM. Thank you all for your help and input :)

    Tyan K8S Pro (S2882-D) Dual core supported?

    Hi nenforcer, I caught my mistake in the title after I had posted the question. I have the KS8D Pro (I missed adding the 'D' after the '8') S2882-D. Awesome! I was aware of supporting the Dual Core Opteron, but was unsure if it would support multiple Dual Core CPUs. Thank you :)

    Tyan K8S Pro (S2882-D) Dual core supported?

    Hi All, Just wondering if my dual cpu board (Tyan K8S Pro S2882-D) would be able to take two dual core AMD Opterons (such as the 285's) at the same time, or does it become limited to one dual core cpu at a time? Cheers, and thank you :)
