Well, I did not plan to answer your question, just help you ask

the question better...
I run a HP DL140 G2 with OpenBSD 4.1 i386 and raided root disk

(raidframe), and a HP DL145 G3 with OpenBSD 4.1 amd64 MP.
The DL140 G2 is a bit old, and I recall there were solvable

problems booting OpenBSD 4.1 on a DL140 G3, I had to disable

some unrelated USB network device, but I think that problem

is fixed in OpenBSD 4.2.
The DL140 G2 has a 2.8 GHz Xeon and 2 GByte RAM. It runs

on itself pf, apache, sendmail, bind, mailman. These generate the

most load. It has almost no users - it is just a web server.
I have never tried Dell or IBM servers, but there have

been quirks for new hardware for HP servers, and perhaps

the lack of help querys for Dell servers is a good sign...
