Abit BP6 vs. Tyan S1832DL ?

Anyone have any comparisons between these two board with respect to
stability and/or ease of cooling when running Linux?

From what I understand, a BP6 running dual celerys is relatively stable
if you aren't beating it to death, but I have heard nothing about the
Tyan in this area.  

Has anyone gotten the onboard sound (ES1373) and/or the onboard network
interface to work?

   I've been running Linux on the Tyan S1832DL ("Tiger 100") for about
3-1/2 month now with two (2) PIII/500 CPUs.  It runs great with no problems.
Just make sure you use good CPU fans and thermal grease is a must.  I
don't know anything about on-board sound; the S1832DL doesn't have any
on-board peripherals.  If you want to know anything more my experiences
with the S1832DL under Linux, feel free to email me.
