Hi Susanth,

Your best option is to contact your Sun sales rep and arrange a test
of the system.
Sun and it's resellers usually grant access to their hardware at their
facilities for you to try before you buy.
In this way you can use the FreeBSD/amd64 install CD and perform a
real life test of the x4600.
