I've got a P2-333 w/ 128MB RAM and a RealTek RTL-8029. Under linux 2.0/2.2 i've got almost no system load while using the network card. But while running 2.4-testx the system load is about 35% when the card is under heavy load. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
