d3bruts1d Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 Looking at building a good game server for ya'll to play on... Don't have the money to blow on a really nice system, but can build a decent one for arround $450.... Though, these prices include the use of a Tyan motherboard. Does anyone use them? Option 1 Tyan S2460 Motherboard Dual Athlon MP 1GHz 200/266 FSB - Allows for up to 3G DDR... Option 2 Tyan S2507T Motherboard Dual Intel PIII 1GHz Allows for 1.5G PC133 or 2G PC100 With both the CPUs and Mobo it cost about $30 more to get the MP than the P3... So I'm leaning toward the MPs... though I've never used/seen a Tyan mobo, so don't know how well it preforms. This will be used to host HL, 1942, UT2, D3, WC3, SC2, and whatever other games we want to play... (as well as host my own LanParties. ) Ya.. this is what I'm building instead of putting together my own personal computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolcomPimp Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 option 1 looks good... I'd take that for $30 over option 2... you'll probly be gladd ya did pay the extra 30 in the long run when upgrading ram and such.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
megavyrus Posted August 22, 2002 Posted August 22, 2002 I would go with option one also. Tyan motherboards are pretty good from what i know especially for this type of applications. I heard that Epox may have a dual AMD solution also. I don't have a link for you know but see what you can find. Sounds interesting.
