The Tiger K8W (S2875) is the market's newest dual AMD Opteron powered entry workstation platform. Accommodating the most popular features of a workstation, the Tiger K8W (S2875) also has superior value for its numerous capabilities. Serial ATA RAID, FireWire, AGP 8X/4X slot, and gigabit Ethernet connection are just some of the product's numerous highlights.

Using 64bit AMD Opteron technology, the Tiger K8W (S2875) is a leader in the entry workstation class.

The most noteworthy selling point of the Tiger K8W (S2875) is its abundance of features on a compact ATX form factor - engineered to use less without compromising its features sets.

Cost savings on the overall system can be as much as 25-30%, claims Tyan.

The Tiger K8W (S2875) has Serial ATA with RAID support for optimal storage space, an AGP Pro 8X/4X slot to accept the latest in graphics card technology, six-channel audio for rich sound quality, Gigabit Ethernet connection for the best in broadband connectivity, and FireWire plus eight USB ports for excellent data transfer capabilities.
