I'm running OpenBSD 3.7 on a Dell PowerEdge 650. I know that's not
what you're looking for, but I can't imagine that the on-board nics
will be an issue. The Dell technical specs say they are Broadcom
Dual 5721J as opposed to the Intel Pro/1000's that are in the 650 (see
attached dmesg).
My personal recommendation (for what that's worth) is to go ahead and
install OpenBSD. I have to assume that the system is not currently
functional with Windows and ISA Server. Try it, if it fails, then
order an Intel Dual port adapter to put in then PCI-X slot and disable
the integrated Broadcom cards in the BIOS. But I doubt that will be
an issue.
