Hello, I've been a fan of Tyan for years now, and currently have a S2915 (dualie). Its time to upgrade, but I've been out of the loop for a while. Are dual cpu mobos still better than single cpu (for development machine: IIS7, Visual Studio, Photoshop, SQL Server etc running)? Can someone...

Yes I know, thanks for your comments anyway. But thats not really what I was asking. I know which memory is "recommended" for my mobo, but I can usually get any ram to work, even if it isn't on the recommended list (play around with the memory voltage jumpers usually works). I was suspicious...

I often see on the auctions, Ram advertised as: "PC2100 DDR ECC Registered 266Mhz Cl 2.5. -for use on Compaq Server models XXXX." But the specs seem to suggest they will work on any machine that can handle it. I mean, this is the sort of Ram I need for my Tyan Tiger MXP. But just because it...

Hi, I have two Adaptec SCSI cards. One ASC-29160 and one ASC-19160. I have two Seagate Cheetah X15-36LP ST318452LW Ultra160 SCSI 15000rpm drives. My Mobo is a Tyan tiger dual cpu Tyan Tiger MPX S2466N-4M Motherboard. Would it be a faster setup to run each drive on separate cards, or run...

Its a long story why I didn't return the mobo because the floppy controller didn't work, but basically I bought it in Japan and found out when I got home, so couldn't return it. If a p4 can slow down when it gets hot, how about an Athlon 1700+XP? Also, I have done lots of tests to find a memory...

When I leave my system on for a couple of hours everything slows down a lot. Its super fast when it first starts, then gets progressivly slower. I know it is not a memory leak or some other software problem, is it possible it is the motherboard or CPU? (EpoX 8hka+, 1700+). The floppy drive...
