Tiger 133 Revision B (Update) --> This is the LATEST Revision!!!

[DieselMan]

Revision B is the LATEST REVISION. I'm not sure what the differences are yet compared to the new Revision A (aka Rev. G); if somebody knows, please share with us

Someone from 2cpu.com wrote to me and told me that he called Tyan Tech support and they verified that this was the latest revision, although I am still a bit skeptical. I haven't had time to set up mine so I still don't know. Can anyone verify and confirm the information? Thanks.

Update! Revision B is the latest revision of the board (F -> A (G) -> B)!

Here's the email I received from Tyan:


<< Dear David,

You have the latest version of the board and the one long beep followed by
two short indicates that it does not see the video card for some reason.
Stick with actually nvidia product lines with this board and you won't have
this issue.

Please note, (if) when replying, include all email conversations. Thanks! >>



This is what I know so far (although I'll have to wait 'till tonight to find out if the board I have is DOA because I still don't have any video):
1. Revision B is the latest revision
2. Tiger 133 still will NOT work with Voodoo3 AGP (but does with Voodoo5 and Voodoo3 3500)

Ok, success. The board works with the PCI version of the Voodoo3, and it also does with a TNT2 AGP card Won't work with Voodoo3 AGP, or Diamond Viper V330. ACPI is of course a PAIN in the butt to get to work properly (either unstable, probably because of some imcompatible devices of mine, and/or performance is worse), so I decided to disable it in the BIOS. If someone can give me some good advice on how to get ACPI working properly (I've already read most of the threads), I'll try it again. Thanks

Bottom line, if you want performance and stability, I suggest you stick with the dual BX boards such as the SuperMicro P6DBE, the Tyan Tiger 100, or the Asus P2B-D or P2B-DS. The Asus boards are the only Dual BX boards that have the 1/4 PCI divider at 133 FSB (using SoftFSB), but they do cost a LOT more.
