It's not any comfort to you but I have two Dell PE 1750's running very
reliable using FreeBSD 5.4 stable as of Wed. the 28'th of Sep. 2005.
It has two Xeon at 3 GHz, 2 GB RAM, a LSILogic 1030 Ultra4 Adapter.
HTT is *off*.

HTT does not yield any higher performance for most purposes. I can
send you my kernel if you want.

Claus
