Hi Juan
I'm not sure what you mean by '2 GB Network'. If you're looking for
some exotic high-powered nic, then look at;
http://www.myri.com/
or
http://www.astutenetworks.com/content/product/superhba.htm

Are you sure you mean FreeBSD 4.6 ?
If yes, then why - if I may be so bold to ask. RELENG_4_6_RELEASE
is'nt even updated anymore, if I recall it right.

If you're going to by new hardware from one of the big manufactures,
then why choose SUN hardware for a BSD installation ? (unless you
have an urge to $pend money)
About the rest of your spec., you'll have to visit a few site
yourself e.g. www.ibm.com, www.hp.com et al.
There's nothing exotic about your spec. and all the manufactures can
meet you needs.
I have not come across a single IBM/COMPAQ/HP server-box that did'nt
run FreeBSD out-of-the-box.
Allright, allright, allright. Yes I've had two problems!  One with a
Compaq WOL card and second, with an IBM RAID-controller. Both looong
ago.
