Well, I did not plan to answer your question, just help you ask
the question better...

I run a HP DL140 G2 with OpenBSD 4.1 i386 and raided root disk
(raidframe), and a HP DL145 G3 with OpenBSD 4.1 amd64 MP.

The DL140 G2 is a bit old, and I recall there were solvable
problems booting OpenBSD 4.1 on a DL140 G3, I had to disable
some unrelated USB network device, but I think that problem
is fixed in OpenBSD 4.2.

The DL140 G2 has a 2.8 GHz Xeon and 2 GByte RAM. It runs
on itself pf, apache, sendmail, bind, mailman. These generate the
most load. It has almost no users - it is just a web server.

I have never tried Dell or IBM servers, but there have
been quirks for new hardware for HP servers, and perhaps
the lack of help querys for Dell servers is a good sign...
