These will be in the entry-level intel server motherboards (and beyond entry level), which will come with one or two built-in ethernet NICs on the motherboard. You can just check them out at intel's website. -Derek At 09:28 PM 2/27/2006, gahn wrote: >Thnaks Derek: > >Well, I shut down what I don't need and I can see >those shared irqs.
