@ernsteiswuerfel:

Yes, my PPC hardware is used for the same purpose.
Buying a Tabor board for Linux or BSD use would just be stupid.

And from what I've seen on Zen2 optimizations, there is lot more than you are giving AMD credit for.

Although...I'm just glad to see the low watt draw lower end parts.
My Phenom and FX cpus were way too hot.

And I'm finally ditching one old motherboard with an Athlon 64 X2 that I'm using as a media server, as a $100 Zen2 with a cheap motherboard will be several times more competant.
