Title: Want to buy the ultimate AROS board?
Post by: redrumloa on April 05, 2006, 05:10:15 PM

I have 4 of these in stock and thinking of an Amiga.org special:-)

ThunderK8SR, DP-Opt, 1U ready (http://www.tyan.com/products/html/thunderk8sr.html)

Any interest?

No.

It has crappy slow obsolete inferior PCI-X slots.

You can get much cheaper boards with PCI-E
which is the current standard.

Was that necessary? Fair enough if you don't want it, but I think your post was a bit rude.

Heck, even if I could afford the motherboard I wouldn't be able to afford the CPUs to run it (or the chassis to put it into).  Looks like a nice server board though.

But does aros support dual processors? if not, then i dont see the point....
The hardware itself sounds a bit overkill in my opinion. I think it best to find a cheap board that is currently very supported in Aros.

What i mean by that is that audio chipset, gfx, ide/sata and so on should be supported and tested in Aros.
