Re: FW: [Xen-users] Problem with Dell Poweredge 1850

[David H <davidh.davidh@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am using a SuperMicro server with the same Intel E7520 "Lindenhurst"
chipset as the dell 1850.  It looks like the 1600SC has a ServerWorksR
GC-SL chipset.  Both have onboard intel NICs(82540/82544), they may
share other componets.
