The HT1000 is only 1 of the Opteron chipsets available from Tyan, and it's only available on their 1 socket boards (the Tomcats). The dual- and quad- socket boards either use AMD or AMD+nVidia chipsets (Socket 939/940), or nVidia chipsets (Socket AM2). Out of their entire lineup, the HT1000 makes up maybe 10% of the chipsets used by Tyan. I'd hardly call that a "black eye". And it's only the onboard SATA controller that has issues. Pop in a proper RAID controller, and it's no longer an issue. > Someone was complaining 2 years ago that they didn't > have hardware to do the work.
