Solaris 10

The other options are intel and asus boards. But you are saying that
ASUS is not good on customer support... But Asus seems to offer boards
loaded with features at a good price.

S--Can you say when you'll be installing /running Solaris? If you're
still looking into MB's, I'll keep posting to this thread.

Hello

I want to install solaris within the next 10 days, merely waiting to
get the hardware details straight so I could piece together the most
compatible hardware.

Please keep posting.

Sun is using the pricey Tyan boards for their Ultra20 Opteron
workstations--out of range for me. But I got a few nibbles off the Sun
site. The Gigabyte K8Nxx is a good one for $95 and the MSI K8N Diamond
(MS-7100) looks like a good bet at $120.If you want b-spec "Firewire
800," on most boards today, you'll have to buy a card to run it. I've
read the higher-end MSI boards use good quality caps,so maybe the
mid-level ones are okay as well. I've had good feedback about Gigabyte,
except for Dave's concern about GB's new relationship with Asus.

Asus has a presence here in India, so I thought Asus should be an
accessible choice. But what is that I am hereing from this forum about
ASUS again and again? Every one seems to steer away from Asus....

I checked out on Tyan boards, they are not only pricey but in terms of
components they are way behind - in comparison with what Asus offers
for the same price.. Will check out on Gigabyte and other boards,
especially their availability / presence in India.
