We are mandated to purchase hardware from Dell,
for my next pair of servers I've been given the choice of a
PE1850 or PE2850.  Both offer the PERC4/ei controller.
Any known issues with this RAID controller?

Has anybody deployed on a PE1850 with Dell's hardware RAID
and can report back success or failure?

Also, I have a choice of network interfaces, either the Intel 'em'
or the Broadcom 'bge'.  Which is the lesser of two evils?


Thanks,

Kevin Kadow
