Better than MSI, but has its own quirks.  Most of my experiences hae been
with the S2510/2518, which was cursed with chipset problems (bad ATA
controller) that weren't Tyan's fault.  They're good friends with one of
my favorite system builders, Rackable Systems.  Tyan doesn't use the most
advanced BIOS versions, though. But it works.
