:) The T2000 has more than enough bus bandwidth to saturate a 10GbE link. And it can do so via TCP, both sending and receiving. But one needs to use multiple threads to achieve good network bandwidth, as the individual CPUs are so anemic. > > and according to the Sun website the X2100 seems to be a 1u box > > with no expansion slots at all. > > It does indeed have a 16x PCIe slot which is "chopped" to 8x by the > riser board plugged into it.

If the X2100 uses some version of the Nvidia Nforce 4 (CK804) chipset, it should easily saturate a 10GbE link.
