Hi, Does OpenBSD 5.3/5.4 support the very new Ivy Bridge-EP Xeon processors (E5-2637v2) and the Intel C602 Patsburg-A Chipset? http://shop.transtec.co.uk/GB/E/products/server/application_server.html?mod=prod&name=SA1260A304R&disp=config
I know that OpenBSD runs on any CPU which is based on the AMD64 architecture, however someone has worried me and said that this CPU and chipset is different somehow and might not boot with BSD!? Also according to http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html#hardware the 82599 controller is supported, so I'm also going to buy some Intel X520-DA2 10Gig cards which have the '82599ES' controller. Quite excited at the thought of building a 3.5GHz Ivy Bridge-EP based 10GBit OpenBSD firewall with DDR3-1866MHz RAM :) Planning to test Hennings new ALTQ subsystem diff on OpenBSD 5.4 with this hardware :D Thanks, Andy.
