A pair of 2 ports are the cheapest. I do like Intel, as it offloads the CPU for high traffic. Also the 4 port Rhine card have been reported to work very well. Some links, but probably not local to you... :-) Very nice Intel Duel port NIC $34.00 http://www.cmishop.com/store/ShowDetails.asp?txtProductName=nic/pila8472-bk&txtMfgPartNo=&nCategorySubID=125&txtSiteTrack=pw 4 Port ethernet with Rhine Chip $81-95 http://www.wisp-router.com/product_info.php?cPath=30_33&products_id=267 or http://www.mikrotik.com/interfaces.php#linx0part0 |
