Nope, the servers down there right now are Intel ... and the new server we
aer getting ready to pick up is an ASUS 1U box with 4 SCSI drives in it,
and dual-Xeon ...
I stop'd believing in Tier-1 hardware years ago ... I've had more problems
with them then with ASUS stuff ... Intel I've been quite happy with also,
especially once I figured out that the hard drive issues we had towards
the start of the year was a U320/Seagate Firmware issue :(
