We've had nothing but bad luck with the 3C905C NICs. We've purchased a *bunch* of low-end Dell PCs that have that NIC and they tend to get the blue screen of death and then reboot if they're connected to Cisco switches, especially when STP is turned on. Very odd behavior and we haven't found a solution yet. We'd better come up with something fast because we're getting more of those pieces of junk soon.
