We also run a full Gigabit network on Intel 10/100/1000 NIC (Server and Workstation) without a glitch... are we just lucky yet?
Anyone running gigabit network and having problem? I know that Gigabit card use a lot more CPU (overhead) than 10/100 but not enough to switch back to 10/100 network (in our case).

If it's a 10/100/1000 then why would that be a problem? We are looking at replacing our current Intel based 10/100 NIC with a 3COM NIC. All of 3COM's server NICs are now gigabit though. Should I be concerned about this? Thanks, Dermot -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of R.

If you use a decent brand name (Intel, 3Com, etc.) that does not say anything about "gigabit", "1000", etc., you should be fine. The only problems I've heard of (and I've heard a lot of 'em!) are with junky cards (some junky cards work very well, but many do not) or the gigabit cards. All the problems seem to have roots in the cards themselves (or the drivers), not IMail. -Scott To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
