Hi all, Here's my 2 cents on 3Com and Intel NIC's:
Our non-scientific tests show that 3Com 905's can outperform current Intel Pro's by about 50%. Our tests were performed on the same computers by replacing just the NIC's. We moved large files back and forth on both NT and Novell platforms. The 3Coms can move the files in 2/3 the time an Intel card would.
