Tyan's dual Opteron, Nvidia board has rather nifty specs

This Tyan board supports dual Opterons, a dual PCI Express X16 interface and other interesting features.

The eATX 12x13-inch board will support 16GB of memory DDR333/400, Chipkill support, and ECC. For storage, the S2895 supports four port S-ATA with RAID and ATA-133. It will also have a dual port Ultra 320 SCSI interface with 15 devices a channel, so a total of 30 channels.

There is also dual Gigabit Ethernet, Firewire, USB 2.0, and integrated ADI1981B audio which has six channels and AC97 compliance.

Other features include a 64-bit 133MHz PCI-X bus A, a 64-bit 100MHz PCI-X bus B, and 32-bit PCI capabilities.

There's also ACPI 1.0b/2.0 compliance and the power supply configuration is a 24+8+8 pin SSI EEB 3.51 jobbie, with common and split plane PSU support.

Tyan is likely to sell a couple of models, and they're likely to be available at the end of this month at $400 and $500 - these are not retail prices, but channel figures. µ
