Description: This is a motherboard for dual slot-1 Pentium III processors (upto Coppermine) or single Coppermine Celeron processors (100 MHz FSB). I have also successfully used socket 370 Coppermine CPUs using Powerleap's upgrade products, though the heat sink is a tight fit owing to the limited amount of space between the two CPUs. You have to use low profile heat sinks.

The motherboard supports standard 100 MHz (ECC recommended) or higher SDRAM for a total of 2 GB (4 slots). Other features: AGP, 6 32-bit/33MHz PCI slots, 1 ISA slot, one shared PCI/ISA slot (can use a total of 7 slots), UDMA 33, Floppy, 16550 UART, ECP/EPP, PS2, Infra Red, USB 1.1, built-in Ensonic audio, 2 IDE and 2 Ultra-2 SCSI ports (2 68-pin high density and one 50-pin legacy port), built-in LAN. Compatible (and tested) with RH6 - FC2; kernels 2.2.x - 2.6.x. Have to rebuild the kernel to include sound support with 2.6.6.x. Product summary available at http://www.tyan.com/products/html/thunderbolt.html


This motherboard has primarily been used as a workstation to do intensive molecular modelling using computational chemistry techniques. Have never had a problem with the motherboard or its peripherals. Currently have 2 SCSI hard drives (9.1 GB SCSI2, 4.5 GB SCSI2, 36 GB SCSI3 on one channel, and a SCSI CD-ROM on the second channel). Depending on the CPU, motherboard is overclockable to a maximum of 124 MHz FSB.
