Working in a european-wide company has some side effects - for example a policy to buy only specific servers from specific vendors (which have to be available in all that countrys). So, there are only the "Big Players", f.ex. HP, SUN, ...´
Back to track: this is no solution; buying hardware by OS needs and not by system needs/policy/[insert-any-other-reason]. If the OS doesn't work with a standard hardware it's simply of no use. Don't get me wrong, I WANT to use FreeBSD - but this isn't my choice anymore if it does not run on our typical hardware. I hate to use Linux and I definately hate to use Solaris (and even pay for that crap).
May I suggest that you buy MP Intel motherboards from the Intel Server Products division of Intel, rather than from the division of Intel that decided not to stair-step PCI IRQ's by slot, until two years after everyone else did it so that everything would not end up on "INT A"?
