Tyan Thunder K7X S2468 Motherboard

TYAN's Thunder K7X is our next generation dual-processor platform for the AMD Athlon™ MP processor. Like its predecessor (the Thunder K7), this system board provides cutting-edge performance for today's most demanding workstation and server applications, and includes powerful connectivity and storage support features. Based on the AMD-760 MPX chipset, the Thunder K7X utilizes a 66MHz 64-bit PCI bus for blistering I/O performance. It also supports DDR RAM, AGP Pro (as well as integrated VGA), dual LAN controllers, dual-channel Ultra 160 SCSI and more.

Processor
- Dual PGA462 ZIF sockets; two onboard VRMs
- Supports up to two AMD Athlon MP processors
- Front-Side Bus support for 266/200MHz

Chipset
- AMD-760 MPX chipset;
- AMD-762 north bridge & AMD-768 south bridge
- Winbond™ W83627HF Super I/O ASIC

Memory
- Four 184-pin 2.5-Volt DDR DIMM sockets
- 25° angled sockets enable rackmount installation
