In 30 years I'd find this card buried in a bin at GreatWill, and I'd light up my second leaf node of the World Wide Mind... prolly as a TarMind for some security work... http://www.w2mind.org/
and recently explained on video: http://www.pbs.org/22ndcentury/about.html http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/22ndcenwwm/ (cyborgs & wanna-be's must tune in) :) ben PS - biggest problem with this is that no modern hardware can use PCIe anymore, since they dropped silicon production and went clockless, but maybe the old PS7 can interface, man, they even have an adaptor for those old "CD's" for that thing.

these nics are not intended for leaf nodes, I can think of a couple of scenarios where one or more ports of a card like this could easily be saturated 1. A cache heavy webserver where the same information needs to be served to 1,000,000 clients at once, and the expiry time is short enough that you can't really take advantage of native HTTP caching (real time stock quotes, sports scores, breaking news) 2. streaming audio or video to multiple clients starting at different times on relatively few different files. 3. a soft switched VOIP application server that is merging and redirecting multiple audio streams inbound and outbound (using an assumed 70kbps per channel and a 20% fudge factor for overhead; you should be able to fit ~100,000 channels assuming your servers can keep up) And those are just the scenarios where you aren't trying to work around the disk bottleneck. At some point in the future most of the fixed equipment you'd want to buy will come with 10gig ports, hopefully we'll have cabling to match. What applications would you be looking at if you could do 10gigs to anywhere? cinema quality conferencing? telepresence with full haptic feedback? massively cross-connected internet scale grid computing?
