good servers?

[Steve Jardine]

I have been using a Poweredge 2850. It has 4 dual cores. Xenon's. By the way, if anyone compiles a kernel for the Xenon, be careful - some are different than others. I had some that were fine for using the Xenon setting, others I had to play around until I get the Kernel to boot.. Something like use/don't use Pentium 4?? Was weird..  Check the stepping number...
