I've built systems with 9 Tyan boards.  All Tomcat I, II, III, or IV.
All run Linux.  2 are SMP.  None has had any serious problems.  The most
important thing seems to be buying Tyan approved memory.  In one, I had to
use slower than default memory timings because I didn't get the right
brand memory.  Default settings gave occasional parity errors.

I'm mostly using Asus now for new systems.
