I almost bought, well actually I did buy but cancelled my order from Buy.com within minutes of visiting the tyan website. Buy.com has the KT1333 board for $114 and a duron 650 for $96.95 with a $30 off coupon and free shipping I thought this was a really good deal costing me $181. Then I went to the tyan website and read this about the jumbers on the board
<< Trinity KT (S2390) Jumper Settings
Note : There are no Jumper settings for CPU bus speed or clock multiplier on the Trinity KT board. The Trinity KT is designed to automatically detect the socketed Duron? / Athlon? CPU and its proper speed settings >>
My impression of tyan boards has always that they were stable but their platform for the duron/t-bird makes no sense for these processors that are reportedly really good overclockers. Well I guess the good thing is I found out before my order was processed, but to other future overclockers make sure you get the right board.
