When one writes an Correct, though Terry probably meant that "general purpose hw" (read: cheap motherboards) usually have 32bit/33MHz PCI buses, so they can easily become a bottleneck especially if they are shared with other peripherals such as disk controllers, video acquisition boards, or multiple ethernet boards. cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
