I tried 8 CPUs in 4 boards (both 2460 and 2466) and saw no problems at all -
LAM/MPI running gromacs, G98, distributed net :) as well as the Cpu burn
package's burnMMX and burnK7 programs.  Strange - is there a bios version #
difference that may be causing the lack of support? Wonder if Tyan is under
pressure to halt support for Tbirds on their boards - seems unnecessary since
its getting pretty hard to find Tbirds anyway these days...
