OK; I'm in the process of trying to upgrade a couple of these boards (S2466N and S2466N-4M) from AthlonMP 1800's to AthlonMP 2600's. According to Tyan, the latest BIOS should allow for the 2600's fine, so I'm kinda stumped as to what's going on at the moment.
Flashed to the latest version of the BIOS, and the flash updated the BIOS correctly. Removed the 1800's, installed the 2600's, and the machine would not boot or POST. No beep codes, no video signal, no nothing. Apparently with the newer revision BIOS it takes a bit longer with ECC memory (which I have in the machine), but that does not seem to be the problem.
Removed the 2600's, re-installed the 1800's, and still nothing. Video and RAM work in a 2nd motherboard properly, as does the BIOS chip itself. Only thing left for me to do is test the CPUs (1800's and 2600's) in the 2nd motherboard, but I'm somewhat worried that it will somehow fry that mb as well. Trying to get in touch with Tyan support at the moment as well, so I'm just throwing this out here to see if anyone can give me an idea as to what I may be missing.
