Hm, I guess the one in your workstation is a wierd variant. Advancing the product ID is a common tactic for showing different silicon & packaging revisions, rather than bumping the PCI revision byte. That particular rev may be more prone to use chains due to memory requirements or whatever. I guess the poweredge variants don't exercise that particular feature. :) -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
