Server performance and 64-bit power come together in the form of Tyan's Thunder K8SE (S2892), a dual AMD Opteron™ processor motherboard for intensive computing applications. Using the capabilities of the highly-scalable AMD64 processor design coupled with NVIDIA's nForce Pro core-logic, and an industry-leading Direct Connect Architecture, the Thunder K8SE delivers features such as dual Gigabit Ethernet and single 10/100 LAN ports, dual PCI Express x16 (one x16 and one x4 signal), and three PCI-X slots, support for up to eight (8) Registered DDR400/333 memory modules, integrated server video, built-in Serial ATA-II NVIDIA RAID, TARO™ storage add-on card support, and remote management option all provide customers with the ability to do more and reach higher potentials in their server applications.
If using IDE drive and the install stops on an uncaught exception, go into BIOS, under "IDE configuration", set "Large Disk Access Mode" to "Other".
Otherwise, no problems with install. Using built-in video. Using IDE drive (so not sure about SATA). USB works. All LAN ports detected and works. No other drivers needed.
