Yes, I have the Tyan Tiger MP S2460. On Sat, Nov 17, 2001 at 10:17:18AM -0800, Kris Anderson wrote: Are you using a Tyan motherboard and if not which one are you using? I currently have a Tyan Tomcat board for a Pentium (I) chips and I've tried it on FreeBSD 4.1 and maybe 4.2 and the kernel locks up on booting. I am using 3.5.1-RELEASE and it works great. I've backed up my current sysetm and will be giving 4.x another try and see what happens if it appears to work fine with SMP then I will most likely go with the AMD CPU if not I'll probably go with an Intel solution. > Mine works just great with dual Athlon XP 1800+ cpu's, including in > SMP mode.
