Kind of silly looking at list price if you need a lot of cards. We give you a $395. discount on bandwidth management when you buy a card, so the $475. list is flexible if the quanity is there. I can give you 10Mb/s PCI cards including bandwidth management for less than you'd think, and you cant get that from anywhere else. Dennis The price goes down if you guy more than one silly....I have a bunch of 16-bit boards I can give you a good deal on....
