I had a really hard time with them when trying to troubleshoot issues
with the 2895 board and the Highpoint Rocketraid 2224. Highpoint
would email me replies within the hour and returned a few phone
calls. Emails and phone calls to Tyan went unanswered for about 10
days at which point I got an extremely unhelpful canned email
response (install the latest firmware and try again). I won't be
buying any additional Tyan boards and sent all but 2 of that batch
back (I'd deployed 2 as desktops while waiting for answers from Tyan
and was too lazy to swap them out).
Back in the 1990-1998 era, I used lots and lots of Tyan tomcat boards
and was happy with support. So perhaps they are dropping (or have
dropped) the ball.
:(
Where else can one go for solid, high I/O whitebox motherboards that
support AMD processors?

So far, I've been pretty happy with them. They're all being used for
storing lots of uncompressed video or fondling uncompressed video into
H.264/mpeg4 streams.
