We installed SPLAT on a Dell PE2850 with 2 Intel Quads in the top two
PCI-X slots and it crashed every time we ran traffic through any
interface on the middle quad... After much troubleshooting, we moved the
middle quad to the bottom slot and it resolved the issue. The middle and
top slots must share resources. OTH, our preferred platform are HP
ML370s where you can put 3 quads without issue...

Well. 4x2x1 Gb/s is beyond the capabilities of any PCI bus.
So you may run into trouble there. I think that is why they are
reluctant to sign of on quad Gb/s interfaces.
