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. Peter Stein nbi@xnet.com
