Thanks for the tip!

Havn't compared them:

1) Intel SDS2 (Dual PIII)
kern.osrelease: 4.11-RELEASE-p25
kern.clockrate: { hz = 100, tick = 10000, tickadj = 5, profhz = 1024, stathz
= 128 }

2) Supermicro X5DPAGG (Dual Xeon)
kern.osrelease: 5.5-RELEASE-p8
kern.clockrate: { hz = 100, tick = 10000, profhz = 1024, stathz = 128 }

3) ASUS A8V (Single Athlon64)
kern.osrelease: 6.1-RELEASE-p10
kern.clockrate: { hz = 1000, tick = 1000, profhz = 666, stathz = 133 }

Serg.
