This is great. Organizing the boards like that is very helpful I think, particularly for new users. > (the distinction between "desktop" and "server" is often quite subjective, > thus I used whatever the vendor used; if the board is marked as > "server solution" or such it goes into the server categrory) Yeah - I guess that distinction is debatable for some of these boards. But as a criterion that's a pretty good choice. > Please also check the "Status" fields, some are still marked "?" and we > should mark them either as "OK" or "Broken/WIP"... I have a more general question about the status field. When do we consider a board 'OK' (motherboard is fully supported)? For instance; the Tyan S2881 and S2882 are listed as 'OK' even though there is no ACPI support, which means that fan control doesn't work (at least last time I checked).
