One thing we're looking at doing is deploying some single-core AMD64s.
Some of the motherboards use the NVidia NForce chipsets, so we
need to know if the nve driver works
I have seen lots of problem reports with the nve. A board that
works well for us and fits nicely in a 2U (probably with the right
heat sink a 1U) is the ECS 480M.

It uses the ATI chipset. Disk and NIC are supported. Onboard NIC
is a Realtek (rl driver) which is pretty bug / problem free.
Realtek? (Gack... Wheeze....) As I understand it, those are the
chips with such a badly thought out DMA architecture that
data has to be copied between buffers within the kernel even though
the chipset does DMA.

How come the kernel is reporting that an AMD chip has HTT? Is this a bug?
