Anyone used such configurations in FreeBSD? How It's works? Dealer > told me that SUN Solaris support 6 CPU greater than FreeBSD... I don't trust him.... :) but I want 3dr party opinion. One of our customers is running a Web application on two HP LH4. The chipset is a catastrophe (most _interesting_ hardware (i.e. Intel Express NICs, Mylex controllers etc.) just doesn't work on them (yes, HP checked both machines and told us that the hardware is 100% ok) (currently one of the machines is running on Realtek 8139 controllers because about anythng else causes PCI timeouts) and nothing improved its performance since FreeBSD 4.1... If I had to buy another XEON server I'd build it myself around an Intel 4 or 8 XEON mainboard, Intel's casing and reliable components of my own choice. It's saving money and I'm not stuck with their crappy SCSI controller or their expensive and slow disks.
