X-Mailer: VM 6.43 under 20.4 "Emerald" XEmacs Lucid Message-ID: <14459.23579.82455.59466@grasshopper.cs.duke.edu> Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG We're thinking of purchasing some Dell PowerEdge 2400 servers. I'm a bit nervous because the 2400 uses a non-Intel server chipset made by a company called RCC Reliance. The chipset is called the "LE-64 ver 3.0". and I cannot seem to find any info about it. The most I've been able to turn up is somebody else looking for info. I was wondering if anybody was currently using a PowerEdge 2400 (or any other server products with this PCI chipset) with FreeBSD So -- does FreeBSD work with RCC chipsets? Is the chipset robust & reliable? We've been badly burned a few times by buggy DEC PCI chipsets & we're hoping to not repeat the experience with an x86 ;-) Thanks, Drew ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andrew Gallatin, Sr Systems Programmer http://www.cs.duke.edu/~gallatin Duke University Email: gallatin@cs.duke.edu Department of Computer Science Phone: (919) 660-6590 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
