Introduction

Server performance and 64-bit power come together in the form of Tyan's Thunder K8SE (S2892), a dual AMD Opteron™ processor motherboard for intensive computing applications. Using the capabilities of the highly-scalable AMD64 processor design coupled with NVIDIA's nForce Pro core-logic, and an industry-leading Direct Connect Architecture, the Thunder K8SE delivers features such as dual Gigabit Ethernet and single 10/100 LAN ports, dual PCI Express x16 (one x16 and one x4 signal), and three PCI-X slots, support for up to eight (8) Registered DDR400/333 memory modules, integrated server video, built-in Serial ATA-II NVIDIA RAID, TARO™ storage add-on card support, and remote management option all provide customers with the ability to do more and reach higher potentials in their server applications.
