While it's marketed as a P4, it's got all the features of the Xeon Nocona core enabled (except for MP support, of course): MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, HT, EM64T, EIST and XD. The question is whether or not the AMD64 build of FreeBSD - which runs on Nocona - will run on this. If someone knows for sure it won't run, they'll save me the time of trying it.
