Hey folks, hows it going? New to the Tom's boards here, so bare with me.
I have a client who has a server which is a Tyan Tiger K8W (S2875, I believe), with two 2.0ghz Opterons. They need to upgrade, but want to spend the least amount of money as they can. The application the server is running cant take advantage of multiple cores, it really just needs as much umph as possible. I thought I would just toss in two 3.0ghz Opteron's (2xx series) into their motherboard and be on the way, as thats a big speed upgrade. But I got to looking on Tyan's site, and it shows that the fastest this board "supports" is the 2.4ghz processor.
I sent a e-mail request into Tyan, and the response I got was awful vague. It said the fastest they had tested with that board was the 2.4ghz processor, but that he would "bet" that the 3.0ghz would work fine.
Now, I cant really go to my client and say, Well, we have a hunch this will work. SO, I was hoping someone here in the forum had put a faster Opteron in their Tyan Tiger K8W, and could verify that it worked.
THANKS in Advance!
