I have placed Myricom 10G cards in the latest AMD platforms (magny cours) and have been doing netperf tests over 900Gb/s. To do that I had to enable jumbo frames and use the driver from Myricom rather than the one that comes with the Redhat 5.x kernel.
This has been on supermicro based machines and not the Dell R815 so YMMV, but I have been happy with the performance and the boxes should be more or less the same (quad socket 6100) TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to compute-0-1-ib (192.168.2.251) port 0 AF_INET Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 87380 65536 65536 10.01 9353.17 # lspci | grep Myri 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: MYRICOM Inc.

The affordable Intel NICs all rely on techniques for high-performance such as QuickData etc. that require Intel chip-sets and CPUs and are simply not available on the AMD platform. Any hints are appreciated!
