It seems like those on the list who have been asking for "Desktop"
motherboards have been asking for "inexpensive" motherboards.

Processors are already separated desktop/server (again, cost is a large
factor)

That's fine with me.  I don't want to split hairs.  I was just surprised to
see my two Tyan boards (s2895 and s2892) in different categories, since they
are _very_ similar.


1. Tyan          Thunder K8WE (S2895)    AMD K8          AMD-8131T, NVIDIA
CK804    SMSCR LPC47B397                AMD OpteronT     Socket 940     
2. Tyan          Thunder K8SE (S2892)    AMD K8          AMD-8131T, NVIDIA
CK804    WinbondT W83627HF      AMD OpteronT     Socket 940
