it uses the atx12v/atxeps12v powesupply which is not the same as
"standard atx" ( at least in the latest catalog i see/have and is what we
used too )
i have all the tyan mb details from their silly/lstest [paper] catalog
and their specs
dual athlons mb w/ 5+ pci slots
S2466N-4M - 4x 32bit, 2x 64bit pci
S2469GN - 3x 32bit, 1x 64bit pci
dual opterons does NOT have "enuff 32bit pci" slots ( typiclly 1 or 2 )
or 5 dual opteron or 6 w/ single opteron
and neither of these 5 or 6 pci slot mb had 64bit pic
- on and on goes the searching for mb w/ the "right specs"
per the original list of requirements
