Prices for the Tyan Tiger 2460 MP at the Fry's in Anaheim, CA was

They even had a special last Monday-Tuesday for $399.00 which included
an OEM 1.2 Athlon MP CPU.

Marek...

The price of the board _is_ extremely high if it's the Tiger S2460
you're describing.  If it's the Thunder then maybe that price isn't
too bad.  Most online vendors are offering the Tiger at between $209
and $239.  

As far as memory goes, I learned several years ago that specs alone
don't always make things work.  When you're building a dependable
system, it pays to use quality components.  I stick with IBM HDDs,
Matrox video cards, and high-power Enermax or Antec power supplies.
In this case, it seems like to ensure a solid system, I went with the
Corsair registered ECC stick.  Others _may_ work, but to start this
system when I assemble it, I wanted memory that is known to work with
this motherboard/cpu combo.  Perhaps in a month or two, I'll add
another 512mb stick of another, less expensive brand, but only after I
find out that it has worked in other similar setups.

por la internet:

I was at Fry's in Wilsonville, OR on Friday and they had the 2460 in
stock for $499.99.

They also had PC2100 ECC RAM at $64.95 per 256 MB stick, and the
Athlon SMP 1.2 GHz CPUs for $199 each. I am wondering what people here
think of these prices. I don't like to buy mail order if possible.

Also, the board on display did not have SCSI but there were places for
dual Ultra-160 SCSI pins on the edge of the board, with no connector
soldered to them. I;m not sure I want it, but is dual SCSI-160 an
option on this board?

Don't reply to the e-mail address in the header. It's bogus. But
I read the newsgroup every day so post here.

Ouch thats pricey even with the current Xchange rates of 1.46

Just watch what type of memory is used.   Approved will not be an issue,
unknown can cause all sorts of issues.   CPU prices make up for the cost of
the board.

If above the IDE channels then this is the point for the raid port once it
comes online.

Actually this is the case the boards are very hot indeed.   We had to shift
the pre-order's that did not come forward after a few days due to the
demand.   But the supply of boards are coming in and out okay from Dist
though it is a case of straight in the door and back out again.

I ordered mine yesterday afternoon from ZZQ, and did the bundle
deal... got the Tiger, two 1.2 MPs, and a single 512mb Corsair Reg/ECC
stick just to be sure.

I was a little dissapointed that I received confirmation of the order
within minutes, but in less than 24 hours I got an email from them
telling me of a shortage of Tiger boards???  I emailed them back and I
think they will try to get me the stuff as quickly as possible.

Hard to believe that this board has become so hot the dealer is sold
out in under 24 hours, but maybe he has a good distributor.  Tyan...
if you are lurking... get these boards out!!!

Hi

Have had similar problem using Tyan TigerMP, twin 1.2GHz palaminios, 1 - 4
sticks of crucial DDR REG ECC (256mb per stick) & elsa gladiac 920 (geforce
3).

Board powers up but will not post, display video or switch off.

The memory shouldn't be a problem - I have seen other reports of people
using Crucial RAM in their TigerMP boards with some success.

If anyone has a solution, please email me on sff @hotmail.com.

Thanks,

sffubs

The Infineon 512 MByte are NOT on the tyan compatibility list!
Maybe they don??t work with the tiger MP!
Check: http://www.tyan.com/support/ht ml/pc2100_tg_mp.html
There are other posts reporting problems about mem sticks making
problems that are not on the list.

Hint: Remove one mem stick and try it only with 512 MB.

Dieter

tried before, didn't work.

but now i managed to get it work:
i tried another memstick (nanya 256mb pc2100, no ecc, not reg.), and the
board started beeping, like expected.
but when i put back my two 512mb-modules, the board booted up as if it had
never done anything else :-/

build up a pc, and you'll learn things of which you though that could never
be ;-)

so, as for now, i can say that even if the infineon mem sticks are not on
tyans compatibility list, they are working fine.

but i still wonder what the board's problem has been...

anyway, thanks  & n8

Maybe you placed the sticks not correctly into their socket?
Happend to me over a dozend times 8(

But GOOD th hear that the Infineon sticks work! I??ve ordered the tiger
MP
yesterday but I was unsure about the memory I should use....

bye
