I'm not 100% sure, but I think you'll only get gigabit speeds with a 64-bit, 66MHz interface. Standard PCI may be too slow. Consider the related fact that a 16-bit interface is unable to handle full 100Mbit speeds. -- Marshal Newrock, Simon's Rock College of Bard Caution: product may be hot after heating -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
