replying to myself... tried both, but didn't help :( I think I will just upgrade to a new mini-itx system like http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260202085551&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=016. Are there any numbers (bps, ~1500byte packets) with this cpu/nic combination? -- Thanks Chris
