I believe if you have a look at the manual, you'll see it warns you about 
RAM types.  At least, any Tyan board I've ever used did (Tiger 100, Trinity 
400, Trinity 100).  I ran into the same thing with my Trin400, then I 
RTFMed and talked to a couple of people I know who're big Tyan fans, they 
told me the same thing.  Tyan goes so far as to specify manufacturers, I 
believe, although all my Tyan boards are at home (this is an Asus-boarded 
workplace).
