Ummm...Tyan motherboards (along with most every other high-end server board) use some of the most reliable components available anywhere. If the cpu's managed to destroy those two Tyans, there may not be ANY motherboard known to man which could possibly tolerate the Barcelonas. IMO, Tyan boards rank right up there with the likes of Supermicro in terms of stability and longevity....That being said, I'd be interested in seeing your list of mobo's with "cheapo vrm's"
