[ale] Dual Opteron Motherboard Recommendations

[Jim Kinney]

Those are the two best board makers out there. While there are many larger
volume makers, most put another name on their products for the likes of
Dell, HP, etc. Until a forklift used a Tyan board (and system) for a
jousting target during shipping, I have had no problems with Tyan boards.
They have a better line for Opteron than does SuperMicro (more Intel
oriented).
