1000 base-T questions

Hi All,

Does anyone have a favorite 1000 base-T PCI card
they would recommend?

Also, it occures to me, is a standard PCI slot
fast enought to take advangare of 1000 base-T?

Many thanks,
-T

A standard PCI slot is marginal for 1G Ethernet, a PCI express slot is
fine.

IMHO Only Intel network cards.

I use:
http://www.intel.com/design/network/...rs/82541pi.htm
on standard PCI. Transfers I had were above 100 MiB/s and sometimes
AFAIR touches theoretical limit - 125 MiB/s.
