    Not boards, but they do make chipsets

    I run mostly Tyan AMD boards including Dual and single CPU Opteron
    boards. They have worked very well. I have also used Tyan and
    Gigabyte Dual Athlon with AMD chipsets and they have been great.
    24/7/365xmultiple years of operation on the Athlon MP and 1.3 years
    on a dual Opteron. The single CPU opterons are not that old...
