I currently have a Dell PowerEdge 6300 (4 x Xeon 500, 512 MB RAM, 6 x 9 GB
Seagate Cheetahs, AIC 7895, Intel EtherExpress 100, no RAID yet) next to
me. 
I just installed 4.0-current from around march 27th 1999; didn't have much
time to test it though (anyway, we cannot use FreeBSD because of the
database server that will run on the machine), but it seems to work very
good. iozone on the cheetahs delivers about 14..15 MB/s write and 18 MB/s
read performance, even when running a make -j6 world on the other disk.
If I find some time, I'll ccd/vinum a bunch of disks and get a worldstone.
