Luke,

Although initially I had some issues with the card and pf_ring zc, we went
with the XL710 based chipset.  This is the new generation from Intel which
offers some nice features.  For instance it supports PCI-e v3 and offers up
to 40Gbit options.  Mine came with SFP+ ports so I had the flexibility to
choose whatever media.  Mine are SuperMicro branded but are the Intel XL710
chipset.

HTH.
