When I was shopping for a mainboard two years ago, I settled on the Tyan S1590s (Trinity 100AT). It was well reviewed (...), but it was also the most expensive of the Super7 boards. I had issues with the board from day one; some PCI cards would not work in some slots, one ISA slot was totally useless, the USB header was impossible to find - and Tyan wanted a fortune for it and the onboard CPU monitoring hardware was.. well let's just say that 'flaky' would have been a big compliment. The temp & voltage readings would swing wildly, setting off alarms every few minutes. Tyan's support was totally unresponsive to my questions, and eventually I just had to 'make do'. Tyan did eventually address the issue with the cpu temp hardware - in the final version of the S1590s BIOS the monitoring functions disappeared alltogether. Nice approach, guys. Tyan also failed to mention this 'fix' in the update info that came with the new BIOS. What a cop out. Is that what I paid for? In my frustration, I posted to harware.mainboard.tyan a message titled 'Tyan tech support is a sad joke'. Which drew some agreement, and a very testy response from a person claiming to be from Tyan, and admonishing me for taking such an approach... I wonder if it is company policy to flame disgruntled users. Anyway, I decided then that I woudn't buy another over rated Tyan product if my life depended on it. Yesterday, I placed an order for an Abit KT-7 RAID & Duron 700cpu. We'll see how this foray into the supposed 'high end' treats me. Bill
