It came in a bundled SuperMicro SuperServer 6040 system (http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/SUPERServer/SUPER%20SERVER%206040%20Server.htm). The only thing you need to add to those bundled systems are the Socket 370 processors, the memory, and the SCA drives. It looked good, so I thought I'd give it a try. Pretty nice system for the money. Put it together with dual PIII-800's, 512MB PC133 ECC Registered SDRAM (thats the only kind it will take), a Mylex AcceleRAID 170 w/32MB, and three IBM 36LZX 10KRPM Ultra160 18.2GB HDs for about $4300. I just put 4.2-STABLE on it about a week ago. I haven't had time to do much with it, but it has survived a couple of new kernels and a couple of 'make -j 8 world's. The only thing I've noticed wrong is this: APIC_IO: Testing 8254 interrupt delivery APIC_IO: Broken MP table detected: 8254 is not connected to IOAPIC #0 intpin 2 APIC_IO: routing 8254 via 8259 and IOAPIC #0 intpin 0 and occasionally a few of these when under moderate disk load (disks are on the AcceleRAID 170, which is on the 64/66 PCI bus running at only 32/33): /kernel: stray irq 7 but even then, everything seems to work fine. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
