Intel's Zappa does have some problem with FreeBSD.  Read 
	www-itg/ISS/hardware/performance.ps	page 6-7
for hardware configuration issue. I have not test the Endeavor yet
since it is very new.  I tested many hardware and spent most of my money.
I won't do further testing on hardware until next spring :-)
