SMP board

[wheatbix]

thinking about building a fat smp computer, and wanted some advice on a board. I'm looking for staility and speed. I'm thinking about the Tiger MP and the Thunder K7, which one do you think is better? Thanks

believe they use the same chipset. both are great.
thunder k7 have a lot more buildin stuff in them.

believe your choice is between mp or mpx board

Well theres alot of options here. You obviouslly want the stability, heh, you want Tyan! LoL

But I made it rather simple to look over the differences with the AMD dual boards, Link to manuals, and stats pages, etc is all in my thread here...

AMD Duals (http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=89236)

If cost isnt an issue, Id go for the K7, just so many more options and onboards.

But if it is, do what I did, go with a 2466, and buy yourself a pair of Duron, Morgan cores. I have 2x1.3 Durons and the 2466 board and this sucker is freakin toot schweet. Solid and runnin great. The only thing I need now is some more ram for it.

Which motherboard do you think is better, the Thunder K7X or the K7?
Am i right in saying that a 64 bit 66MHz is faster than a 64 bit 33Mz PCI slot?
And can normal 64-bit 33MHz cards go in the Thunder K7X's 3.3V PCI card?
