Best dual G34 WS motherboard- ASUS KGPE-D16 or TYAN S8230?

[MU_Engineer]

I will likely be building a new workstation very soon and have decided that a pair of G34 Opterons (6128s to be specific) will fit the bill nicely. The only two dual G34 motherboards out there with an expansion card slot arrangement suitable for a workstation are the TYAN S8230 and the ASUS KGPE-D16. I am curious to see if anybody here has experience with either board and would be willing to share them here.

Tyan are an established server board maker, while Asus are still new boys.

Looking at them though, I like the Asus, as it looks less fussy.

I ended up getting the ASUS unit. I'll let you know how it goes.
