All of these NICs are capable of 10, 100 and 1000Mbps speeds over =20 CAT5 copper cable, except for the SysKonnect SK-9D41 which supports =20 only 1000Mbps over multimode fiber. The BCM570x builds upon the =20 technology of the Alteon Tigon II. It has two R4000 CPU cores and is PCI v2.2 =20 and PCI- X v1.0 compliant. It supports IP, TCP and UDP checksum offload =20 for both receive and transmit, multiple RX and TX DMA rings for QoS =20 applications, rules-based receive filtering, and VLAN tag stripping/insertion as =20 well as a 256-bit multicast hash filter. Additional features may be =20 provided
