I've talked to a couple people that have these boxes up and running and from what they said they're running great! I've got 2 on order so hopefully in the next couple weeks I'll be able to do some playing.. Couple things to keep in mind though.. Last I checked the PERC RAID controllers have some firmware issues that cause the machine to lockup under load, however Dell and AMI know about this and are working on a fix (May be out already). Also there are some kernel tweaks you may have to do in order for things to work right, specifically NAPIC = 2, NINTR = 28 I guess with the defaults the system doesn't want to boot.. Hope this helps.. -- Steve Kaczkowski Time Warner Telecom IDD steve@inc.net (414)908-9012 http://www.inc.net (603)737-9209 Fax To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
