Any problems with these and FreeBSD? I'm also curious about the 16GB addressable RAM. Would you need 4 processors to address that much RAM? The Xeon's with 512K cache are real cheap. Would the cache size influence the addressable/cacheable RAM size? Can you mix and match processors of differing cache sizes? Sorry, lots of questions.
