Ah good, an excuse for another `what amd64 hardware can I use'
thread :)

I quite like Supermicro H8SSL boards at the moment (including
in a short-depth 1U server AS1010S-MR),
As a general guideline, `openssl speed aes' with an opteron 146
in one says this:
OpenSSL 0.9.7j 04 May 2006
built on: date not available
options:bn(64,32) md2(int) rc4(idx,int) des(ptr,risc1,16,long) aes(partial)
blowfish(idx)
compiler: information not available
available timing options: USE_TOD HZ=100 [sysconf value]
timing function used: getrusage
The 'numbers' are in 1000s of bytes per second processed.
type 16 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

Haven't done any ipsec testing on them. 1h20 total for building
source and making release (arch=i386).
The hw is nicely made, the fan on the 1010S-MR is a bit noisy
(better alongside servers rather than in a mostly-quiet office,
it is no soekris/wrap/epia). Serial console redirect (try a
wscons rather than xterm console to use the bios menus, unless
someone has any clues).
I originally considered Sun x2100 for the task I had in mind, but
these Supermicros have PCI-X rather than PCI-Express, which I find
a lot more useful since I can buy reasonable quad nics on ebay,
and I prefer the onboard nics here (two bge(4) on a fast bus).
Optional ipmi cards aren't supported in OpenBSD yet (neither
for querying from the OS, nor for the card parasiting onto the
host's use of the nic).
admcts(4) temp and voltage sensors work in -current, fan sensors
are hiding I know not where, but it's not inconceivable that
the ipmi hides there too.
Here's a dmesg (Chris Cappuccio posted one a few months ago,
this shows sensors etc too that show up in -current), taken from
a box with added ahc, ami, st, ch.
