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...
