One of the replies to my inquiry said that the Netgear network adapters do
not work well with certain AMD-based motherboards.  Considering that one of
my future upgrades will be to build a multi-processor Athlon system, this
caused me a bit of concern.

Can anyone elaborate on this?  Is it just a certain manufacturer or a
particular brand of chipset?  Or is this one of those PCI versioning issues
that could be taken care of by tweaking the BIOS?

Thanks,
