RTL8169 lets the CPU do most of the work. Guess how come they're so cheap. Those 18MB/s might be the max you get there. (I haven't switched to GBE here yet, but installed some at a customer's site. rtl8169, too.) From all I've heard the only cards worth recommending are intel and those with Marvell chips. Around 30 bucks but worth it. Dex -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d--(+)@ s-:+ a- C+++(++++) UL+>++++ P+>++ L+++>++++ E-- W++ N o?
