Everithing is rock solid, few months uptimes. Sounds pretty impressive, really.

(3c985 or 3c996) None of them! Or at least not tigon3! I've tried to use one (3c996-T), and I experienced strange system lockups. The board is a dual Tyan Tiger MP with couple of Athlon MP 1600+. It was just hanging from time to time with completely no output of any kind. Just rock solid lockup. :/ Anyway, I changed to a good old 3c905C and now I don't have any problems. Well, I'm serving at half of your rate, but anyway. So, I would suggest using HP equipment. At least I've heard that it works quote well. -- _____________________________________________________________ With kind regards, Nickola
