I've been running Warp on a TYAN (www.tyan.com) Titan-III for 2
weeks now without any problems. This is with a P5-133, 512k PBS cache,
and 32 Meg 60ns EDO. My system also includes a Matrox Millenium and
Adaptec 2940 both which are very Warp friendly. The TYAN boards are
very fast and the benchmarks I obtained on my system are in fact
higher than most published P5-133 benchmarks (OS2 benchmarks). My
PCBench9.0 were very good too, in fact my CPUmark score was higher
than any other P5-133 at one of the benchmark web pages. Having
said all this I think it's probably fair to say that TYAN, ASUS,
and Supermicro all make comparable high performing boards. My
decision to get TYAN is a direct consequence of simply having more
information at my disposal about TYAN than the others.
