Bot the R610 and R710 had issues (2nd generation bnx(4) was unsupported, and the disk performance sucked). Two people stood up and contributed one of each to the project, and these issues were resolved. Getting these leading edge machines into our hands is always the best way to ensure that support for them will be improved! They now work very well. The amd64 snapshot builds are done on one: zoom zoom zoom.
