I had the 3C595, the 10/100 pci variety in my Micron. I think it caused more Windows 95 gpf's than any other hardware product in that machine. Micron only had one busmaster pci slot in the Millennia and if it wasn't in it, it was only a matter of time until the gpf. I finally replaced it during the Win 2000 beta when they dropped support. The Intel Pro 100+ works much better. The 3C595 is on a shelf beside the Micron to remind me of foolish purchases :).
