OK, I want to upgrade my NICs, not only in my Dachstein box (thanks again
Charles!), but also in a couple of servers (Compaq Proliant 1500s), for a
total of 5 PCI 100 or 10/100 NICs.
I don't want to spend more than I have to, but I'd like good quality cards.
Searching the archives, I found recommendations for the following, with
prices from Tom's Hardware/PriceGrabber
* 3Com 3c905 $26.50 (3c905BTX)
* Intel EtherExpress Pro 100 $18.90 (PILA8460)
* Netgear FA-310TX specifically $12.00 (but not other Netgear NICS)
I currently have a couple of boxes using SMC 1255TX's, they seem to work
OK, and can be had for $15.63. But I didn't find them mentioned much in
the archive.
So the question is, what is the most bang for the buck? Or are there other
models I should consider as well? What else should I consider in making
this selection? They all appear to be supported for LEAF/LRP.
Thanks in advance...
Ken
