Hardware remedies

[Scott Pilz]

 	I'm looking for advise on hardware, what works good, what doesn't, 
what to stay away from, and what has been proven efficient.

 	We currently run a load of Dell PowerEdges, which work great, but 
are limited in their i386 nature. I would like to get a few HP/Alpha 
machines, and start building up on these instead of sticking with i386.

 	HP offers very little information on FreeBSD. They have a working 
demo on two older systems (only one is Alpha, and it's slow - very very 
slow, and old). HP cannot tell me what will or will not work.

 	I'm curious as to what others are running (HP or non-HP) for 
Alpha. What has worked good in a server environment?

 	Thanks!

 	Scott
