I would second this.  Try the amd64 version of FreeBSD (which also =20
supports the EMT64, or whatever it is called, Intel 64bit =20
processors).  Based on HPs website, this is the possible processor list:

Intel Xeon Processor 5160 =96 Dual core / 3.00 GHz / 1333MHz FSB
Intel Xeon Processor 5150 =96 Dual core / 2.67 GHz / 1333MHz FSB
Intel Xeon Processor 5140 =96 Dual core / 2.33 GHz / 1333MHz FSB
Intel Xeon Processor 5130 =96 Dual core / 2.00 GHz / 1333MHz FSB
Intel Xeon Processor 5120 =96 Dual core / 1.87 GHz / 1066MHz FSB
Intel Xeon Processor 5110 =96 Dual core / 1.60 GHz / 1066MHz FSB
Intel Xeon Processor 5080 =96 Dual core / 3.73 GHz / 1066MHz FSB
Intel Xeon Processor 5060 =96 Dual core / 3.20 GHz / 1066MHz FSB
Intel Xeon Processor 5050 =96 Dual core / 3.00 GHz / 667MHz FSB

They all seem recent enough to have the 64bit extensions.

Thanks
Chad
