About the NIC I think I will not have so high load (I never reached 100k states even on very high network load). About the RAID controller i found this thread: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-January/140790.ht= ml I suppose that ml115 and ml110 have the same raid controller, maybe different from the ML350, DL360(G4p) and DL380(G4) you mentioned. The RAID controller is only referred as Embedded Raid controller. Do you know what kind of embedded raid controller use HP? Thanks again, Frankk
