And the real problem with the 2650s we have now is that under very heavy
load, they just lock up. all of them, latest BIOS updates, etc...
nothing makes them stable. Some things make them a little less dodgy,
but they are never truly reliable. Something the Intel and Supermicro
white boxes have always been for me.
I don't want support from a company like Dell, I want a reliable
machine.
