Nope,
I havea 1668 .. which is a dual ppro board and its done me a great service.
I've had zero trouble with it, it performs much better than other boards I've
seen with almost identical setups. I think tyan makes great boards and that
they really know what there doing when it comes down to SMP boards.
I've also seen great reviews of them on tom's hardware guide.
Mind you though, I don't know much about there socket 7 boards.
