The HT1000 is only 1 of the Opteron chipsets available from Tyan, and it's
only available on their 1 socket boards (the Tomcats). The dual- and
quad- socket boards either use AMD or AMD+nVidia chipsets (Socket
939/940), or nVidia chipsets (Socket AM2). Out of their entire lineup,
the HT1000 makes up maybe 10% of the chipsets used by Tyan.
I'd hardly call that a "black eye". And it's only the onboard SATA
controller that has issues. Pop in a proper RAID controller, and it's no
longer an issue.

Ever considered sending one in? :)
