Help, Need to find Dual Opteron sli ready?

I am using a Tyan s2895 (or K8WE) and it does fit the description. I remeber there being an iWill board that also had the nForce 2200/2050 dual chipset as well. Search around for it.

Thanks guys, I just bought the 2895 from atacom today, I appreciate the help.

There are several out right now, including,

Supermicro (H8DCE)

Too bad about atacom, I might have gone somewhere else maybe. I hope it works out for me. If you think about it though the customer who has a bad experience is more likely to write a review, compared to the customer who is satisfied. So even if there are more negative reviews than good ones, it is still likely that there are several more satisfied customers than dissatisfied ones.

It was just more a comment about the improvements in the kernel recently, many things work better and easier than I am used to.

The only things that was remotely tricky to get working was dual-booting offa it (not a mobo issue, it was because of the RAID card I was booting from required an undocumented kernel parameter be passed) and the sensors (just 10 minutes of searching and I found the answers I needed, so really a minor inconvenience).

Graphics, full memory (4 gigs w/ memory hole remap), sound card, and everything else went off without a hitch.

Currently using 2.6.13 (haven't leap-frogged to 2.6.15 since there was an issue with 2.6.14 and the 3ware card I have) and, with all required drivers built-in (i.e. only the nvidia binary driver as a module), I had to pass "doscsi" to make it boot the 3ware card first before trying to map the root fs (reiser 3.6) onto it, otherwise it would try to map / to a device that wasn't there 8O.

Oops, and of course the standard stuff like kernel path/to/kernel.img root=device

Well, congrats on getting a serious machine, and if there's anything specific you need in terms of assistance setting it up, don't hesitate to ask me as I know the hardware pretty damn well (you have to when you use Gentoo Linux on your hardware), including getting the system to see 4+ GiB of main memory, a subject I've been harping on a lot in the other threads recently (why the sudden interest in using that much memory? Perhaps the impending release of Vista? )

Also, another great resource is the K8WE boards.

Happy computing!
