According to the spec sheet the chipset is an "NVIDIA nForce Professional with AMD-8131 HyperTransport PCI-X tunnel". The xw9300 looked interesting to me, but I guess the chipset is going to be a problem for using FreeBSD on those boxes. Is HP a possible source of information on the chipset? (Incidentally, does anyone know anything about the HP DL385, or the HP Opteron blades, the BL25p and BL35p?) Regards, Jan.
