Admittedly the price of gigabit NICs has come down to where I'd rather see them than 100mbit NICs. They have advantages even if unable to run at full speed. But running multiple gigabit links full speed, these boards won't. Sigh.
Unless the 10/100 chips have improved markedly in the last three years, none of them could handle a full load of minimum size packets. The 1000 chips could saturate a 100 link with small packets. This was a very strong reason to use the gbit NICs on 100M links. geoff steckel
