Yes.
It's a dual Opteron machine. I think it's 244s. Running i386 FreeBSD.
I have it running bonnie on a loop since yesterday (Friday 12-29).
We also left it overnight running bonnie the night before that. So far no 
problems.

Raid 10 with 6 drives (+2 hot spares which should not have affected the 
test).

Just running bonnie to burn the machine in.. to make sure it won't day early 
on.. Had a machine a week ago that died the second day it was at the office. 
That's why I like to let something running on the machines for a few days 
before dragging them to the data center.
