Ok so I looked around and I've found the answers to most of my questions I need the net5501 card, it's the only one that comes with a PCI slot...where I could buy this is still a mystery to me, they are sold out everywhere I checked (except for a webshop in AU where they sell it for close to $600 :O ) I was thinking about getting a used net4801 for testing, would that be powerful enough for this application ?
