I'll never again will buy a Tyan that's all i can say. Their bios sucks
ass. They can't even manage to get 2 comports working and at the same
time support the new MPs.

Even latest bios doesn't fix that. It's bad bad bad bad.

And that for such an expensive motherboard!!!!!!!!

I should sue them if i didn't have more important things to do...
