I installed my Tyan S8225 boards this week. The biggest problem I encountered was the sh**y e1000e ethernet driver in Fedora 14.

I love my dual socket 1366 system, but I'd slap down money any day on AMD if they could deliver a quad/8 socket platform with reasonable amounts of PCI Express and 4/6/8 core CPUs at $200-$300 a pop.

Bulldozer, or bust!
The Tyan S8010 looks quite interesting, anyone know a ETA / or MSRP?
(I note, there is no sound, 1394 or other useless? things...)
Aside,
I wonder if two NB/SB could run from one CPU socket (since there are 3 HT links...)?

Forgot to updated this thread with some new models:
The Supermicro H8DCL series:
The premier provider of advanced Server Building Block Solutions® for 5G/Edge, Data Center, Cloud, Enterprise, Big Data, HPC and Embedded markets worldwide.
Super Micro Computer, Inc. launched H8DCL-6 motherboard, Dual AMD Opteron 4000 series processor (Socket C32) based platform; 8/6/4 Core ready.
Looks like it would make a nice workstation.
Too bad the Bulldozers are moving VERY slowly...

my 4kb
I like MSI and Supermicro. TYAN used to be my favorite, but after several years and several problematic boards, I can no longer recommend them. They aren't as stable as Supermicro or MSI. Also, Gigabyte's BIOS update can be difficult. It seems that you must use Windows to run their utility.

If socket G34 implements quad channel memory with some new future chip then its a great improvement.
Otherwise its pretty much the same - different mechanical layout, same silicon.
