Yes, exactly that. It also has eSATA and internal USB socket which is nice.
Is anyone on the list running NetBSD on one,
I've a number of them, but watch out for kern/44277.
and also does anyone have a good pci-e network card recommendation?
I use Intel Pro/1000CT (come with both full and half-height backplates - the HP can only take half-height).
