Hi!

    We're using Tyan Thunder K8HM (S3892G3NR, *ServerWorks BCM5785 
Chipset*) with great succes using CentOS 4.4 / 64 bits.  We put 2 x 
Opteron 275 and 4 Gigs of RAM.  It runs flawlessly 5 VMWare hosts (3 
CentOS + 2 Winblows inside) with free VMWare server.  We'll begin to 
test Xen 3 soon (we need SVM support for Winblows...).

    As for Dell, we had many hitches with their "not always standard" 
hardware.  I won't say that Dell is no good but your support mileage & 
"upgradeability" may vary.
