Electic Tech heeft een review gepost van revisie F van de Tyan Tiger 133A dual Slot 1 moederplank met VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset, 6xPCI, 1xISA, AGP en 4xDIMM. Enige tijd geleden werd al een eerdere revisie van dit bord door Electic getest en toen waren de resultaten zwaar teleurstellend: de plank was met geen mogelijkheid stabiel te krijgen. Deze problemen lijken opgelost te zijn met de nieuwe Rev. F, die wel aan de verwachtingen voldoet:
The Tiger133 is a major contendor in the current workstation market because of its low cost and high-end feature list. The board does have its limitations, however, as a result of this low cost. There are no jumpers or BIOS controls for front-side-bus manipulation, as well as tight fan space - both of these may deter overclockers. The CPU performance is also average, though the memory performance is respectable. The AGP port can use some help, however, since a 4-speed port is essential for a modern day workstation platform.The stability of the revision F board has been extremely trustworthy. Crashes are virtually non-existant (at least motherboard related crashes), and Tyan's tech support is devoted to continued development of BIOS updates for the board, as well as all of their other boards. In short, the board is definitely above average, though not an industry standard-setter.
