Tyan's had some hits and misses. K8S junk, K8SPro and K8SR good, K8QSPro is 
great. You can compare their 939's to the 940's largely - a 939 is an 
Opteron with one pin less, which puts them into 5-layer PCB motherboards as 
opposed to six or more for 940's. At least that's what I've been told. I 
haven't even touched a 939 to date, but the Opterons are a good gauge.
Amazed Tyan's sampling 3rd quarter, was hoping they'd take some time to 
straighten out the K8SPro and K8W first.
