I'm running these system spec's...

Tyan S1854 Motherboard
2 Dimms of 256 PC133 Totaling 512 Mg.
Nvidia AGP MX4000 128Mg. Graphics Card
Sound Blaster 16 PCI Card
80 Gig. HD
Linksys Duel Fast Ethernet Controller DSL
750Mhz. CPU Running 100FSB PIII Intel

With all these spec's, the only complaint I have so far is Graphics issues with older games designed for windows 95, when I'm running XP with the compatability wizard even...I get black glitches or patches, when moving the mouse pointer, then it's like playing a lottery scratch card on my monitor to erase the black with my mouse. That part I haven't figured out yet !!!
Overall Performance is good...Probobly need to upgrade to an ATI card and add more SDRAM PC133 and also a 1 GIG CPU would be pleasant I think.

Since reading about your review on the Tyan S1854, I decided not to overclock. I think I need to upgrade. Thank god for people like you, bless you all.

I have an old MicronPC with the S1854 and can't get XP to boot during the second phase of installation. I have tried all kinds of stuff from a low-level reformat of the HDD to fdisk /mbr.

How do you get the motherboard to find the XP OS?
