As it happens, I do have a 320-2x on its way to me. I am replacing an Adaptec 3210S. I had originally planned to use a 2130S, but the lack of a manager put me off (not to mention just getting this Tyan Thunder K8WE running...). I did try a 320-2e, but the board did not enter BIOS when the card was in slot 1. Tyan has not responded as to whether this is a good thing or not, hence the waiting for the 320-2x...
