[K12OSN] dual Xeon and FC1

[Shawn Powers]

And the dead horse cries as I beat it...

Les,

Are your servers (new and old) Tier 1 boxes?  (ie, Dell, HP, IBM, etc) 
If so, or if not, what are they?

To those with ongoing problems with bigmen and/or SMP kernels -- same 
question.

Thanks again,
-Shawn
