Tyan Tomcat K8E-SLI S2866 Review (nForce Pro 2200)

Based upon feedback received from the K8E S2865, the Tyan K8E-SLI S2866 is simply one hell of a motherboard. Utilizing the NVIDIA nForce Professional 2200, the motherboard is capable of running Scalable Link Interface at PCI Express x8 speeds while continuing to pack the integrated features of the nForce4 Ultra but appending viable workstation options.

All in all, when everything is finalized, the Tyan K8E-SLI is the finest AMD Socket 939 motherboard we have yet come cross for users since the conception of the nForce4 Chipset. The S2866A2NRF is based off the nForce Professional 2200 Chipset while using Socket 939, which is quite rare and an oddity of itself. Keep in mind, the motherboard is designed for the niche of users demanding a highly integrated entry-level server or high-end desktop.
