I don't have the card yet, looking to go buy a couple, not sure what's on the shelf at the local shop. The server will be a Frankenstein/homebuilt, using an i7 processor again on an EX58-UD4P mobo. The mobo has one integrated gigabit NIC (realtek ?) that works fine, but all I've got left for add-ins for extra ports are some older 3Com 3c905b-tx and similar, no chance for 64 bit drivers.
Fry's here last week had a deal on Corsair DDR3 memory, 12gb kit ( 3 sticks ) for $139 with a $10 mail in rebate! ( and yes, I'm old enough to remember when that $$$ would barely buy a mb of RAM, and even before when it was barely enough for the 9 chips in a 256kb set to hand install into the mobo sockets, uphill, both ways ! ) Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ' Security is an ongoing process, not a one time event !

The two operating systems are based on the same code. Same is true with Vista <--> Windows Server 2008 and XP <--> Server 2003. But more importantly, what network card are you looking at using? Do you know its' brand, model number? IE, is it made by Intel? Broadcom? Is it integrated into the motherboard of the system in question? If so, what kind of system is it? Dell? HP? --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: Erik Goldoff [mailto:[email protected]] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Fri, 14 Jan 2011 10:45:18 -0800 Subject: Does Windows 7 (x64) NIC work with Win 2008r2 (x64) > Has anyone used a workstation NIC from an x64 Windows 7 in an x64 Windows > 2008R2 server ? > > Looking to build another test box, but not wanting to spend hundreds $$$ on > a server class Ethernet adapter. > > > > Erik Goldoff > > IT Consultant > > Systems, Networks, & Security > > ' Security is an ongoing process, not a one time event !
