Description: This machine is a two-way XEON server, mirrored RAM, on-board ServeRAID 7k, Radeon RV100 and Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5721 Gigabit. Our box has two 3.6GHz XEONs, 8GB mirrored RAM.
Runs with Slackware 10.1 (10.2 - or, in other words, the stock kernels from kernel.org). Also runs RH AS3 (caveat - requires
U3 at least, I haven't tried that, but can confirm U5 working).

I have been very happy with IBM servers in general. I would recommend this product to anyone that does not want to load up the ethernet cards with thousands of packets per second. We have the servers running in bandwidth intensive applications and the network cards are very buggy. We have since replaced them with Intel EEPRO100 cards to resolve the issue. So yes I would recommend these but not if you want to use any sort of large pps rate on the broadcrap cards.
