IIRC it took the external logic to long to react on siemens systems. 

However to me this is a minor problem. I use OC fans and coolers that 
enshure, that even in the case of a fan stop in a standard MaCase 19" 
chassis the CPU does not overheat enough to cause problems. The only 
scenarium that would be fatal is when more than one fan stopped 
and/or a cooler would somehow come loose. But to be honest, without 
hotswap CPU and memory (or even mainboard) real redundancy is not 
possible. My customers do not take hotswap PCI solutions for the 
price such systems are at.

What I am interested is the performance I get of serverworks boards: 
having a GBit ethernetcard and a raid controller the system seems to 
be more performant than a compareable system with other chipsets even 
when they have much faster CPUs. The "performance" is the "feeling" 
on the workstations connected to the server. 

TIA
