Lord Sporkton ??: Perhaps i was wrong but i thought openbsd was only 32 bit for now? Yup, you're wrong. There's amd64 port, which runs fine on all x86 64-bit CPUs.

They tend to use cards from 3ware. The 95xx series works just fine with the twe(4) driver, but the very new 96xx series don't work as of 4.2. I'm not sure about -current though. peace. ryanc

Re: looking for openbsd friendly server vendor
anyone knows about IBM xSeries 3550? I checked on http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html and I saw that IBM xSeries 3550 were listed a few times. I am also looking to buy a U1 server, and I'm looking at either IBM xSeries 3550 or a Dell PowerEdge 1950. Anyone has any experience with these machines?
