(Answer: I don't think it's silly.) 1 response saying that mother boards with more than 4 PCI slots exist. 2 responses telling me about multi-port ethernet cards. Does anybody have experience with the Adaptec 4 port card? I would also be interested in any experience with any of the multi-port cards. Also, I have subscribed to this list so you can send responses directly to me or the list. Thanks, Kim Shrier kim@createtech.com
