Thanks Gert and Tim for the reply. Yeah, I was thinking that the Sup32 had a fabric connection (kinda like a SFM2). Oh well - maybe one of these days I will be able to slide into a Sup720.

So you'll still be limited to the classic bus - if the card is supported at all (it might be, as the 65xx cards work in a Sup2 system w/o fabric as well). So if there is any performance gain it's due to "larger buffers" etc... gert -- USENET is *not* the non-clickable part of WWW! //www.muc.de/~gert/ Gert Doering - Munich, Germany [email protected] fax: +49-89-35655025 [email protected] _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
