I hate to interupt this party, but the blame here lies with the chipset, and
not with the motherboard. I have two tyan TomCats (a 3.0 and 4.0) both running
SMP that have been rock solid since day one, well over 4 years ago for the 3.0.
Tyan makes an excellent board. It's not their fault the intel chipset spec is
crap. Just my $.02.
