I am little confused, I seen mentioned that the Tigon III is capable of
going at full wire speed and has a low laitance because it completes i/o in
the interrupt(1000baseT). Sounds good, when I when to find card based on it
looks like their was a buyout and name change, is the BCM570x ( bge(4)
driver), what is being talked about (i.e Tigon III) and is it still the
"state of the art" for low laitance copper gigabit today.

PS. The machine is a serverworks 3 pci bus machine.
