Linuxlookup.com: Tyan Thunder K7 Motherboard Review

"The Tyan Thunder K7 (S2462) motherboard is a really good, stable motherboard. I had no problems getting it to run under Red Hat Linux 7.2 and the 2.4.17 kernel. It ran like a breeze. I have only two complaints. First is the forced use of registered DDR RAM. Secondly is the use of a rather pricey power supply. Other than those two issues it is a great board for servers or workstations. The average home user should wait for other manufactures to release their SMP Athlon boards. These should have regular DDR memory support and the use of standard ATX power supplies."
