All Xeons
he's got 3 raid cards in his current server.
1 x 3Ware 7006-2 - PCI 32bit 66MHz (probably fits in a PCI-X slow?) - 2 x ATA/133 2 x 3Ware 7506-4LP - PCI 64bit 66Mhz (PCI-X?) - 4 x ATA 133
There may be issues with the 3ware 7xxx series cards in the latest and greatest kernels, as 7xxx is really really old. I run a couple of 8000 series 3Ware cards and support is alright, though a bunch of things don't work with the driver in the 2.6.x kernel(mostly around monitoring and maintenance)
